Fellow Parkinson’s Fighters,
My most puzzling PD symptom before diagnosis was a leathery feeling in my hands.
Imagine wearing thick work gloves to a restaurant. My “gloves” made it difficult to cut food, sign the check, handle my car keys.
My hand writing was illegible. Buttoning just a memory.
That was my life until mid-August. It isn’t now.
Untouched in my computer had been an article about hand exercises for Parkinson’s sufferers. I opened it and tried the exercises.
Wallah! Bingo!
In two weeks the work gloves were traded for the the feel of a fine pair of cabretta leather golf gloves.
Handwriting is again legible. I’m cutting my food and fumbling less handling small items of daly life.
I’m not yet buttoning very well. Perhaps that recovery is next.
I can only surmise what is happening physiologically to explain the incredible results.
Not enough time has passed to make this a neurogenesis event. Perhaps he answer is enhanced blood flow in my hands.
