Getting Prepared for Summer with PD
As we enter the spring season and anticipate the summer months, with warmer temperatures, I was wondering how many of you have more Parkinson's symptoms during the hot weather. I know that warm weather is certainly a problem for me. My gait and coordination in general become worse when I am in a hot car or walking in the sun. What is it like for you? Let's discuss how we can cope with warmer temperatures.
Here is a blog from the Michael J. Fox website that discusses exercise in warmer temperatures. https://www.michaeljfox.org/foundation/news-detail.php?ways-people-with-parkinson-can-stay-active-in-the-heat. I'm looking forward to hearing from you, @chrisj2491 @denie57 @johnjames @trouble4343 @ggopher @tntredhead @aperob @caryp43 @burgle @macbeth @knightkris @mariemarie @pjsammy.

1 Reaction@tntredhead Trish: The last I heard from you, your husband was in hospice care. I've been thinking about you. I'm so sorry for your loss. You must miss him terribly! My sympathies and prayers go with you and your family during this time. I trust that the service with full military honors will be a tribute to his life. Please stay in touch with us and let us know how you are doing. Teresa

1 ReactionDear Trish @tntredhead,
While we cannot physically be by your side, please know that you have virtual friends who are here whenever you need us. I invite you to join @IndianaScott, myself and others who are talking in this discussion group:
- Loss and Grief in Caregiving http://mayocl.in/2hBpFNf
I can imagine at a time like this words are hard to find. But here on Connect words are all we have. So even if you only write a brief message to say, "I need to hear from you today." We'll be there. We might not say the right things, but darn it, we'll do our best.
