My name is Pat my husband has had pd for close to 14 years. it is really getting hard to cope with it, of couse he is getting worse. When it started he only had it on the left side. The doctors were amazed at that, but in the last year it has moved over to the right side also. His meds are not as good as they use to be because he has been on them so long. He will not try to listen to the things I say to him inregards to walking. He has a million reason as to why he can't walk they I try to tell him. One of the ways to walk is to p[ut your heel down first. to do this you need to kick the leg out so you wind up on your heal. If you put your toes down first you can't get them up. I Tell him all the time. I refuse to give up on him.
