- My recent fall in the bathroom has me second guessing myself, and has made me feel vulnerable to further falls. Today's video looks at falls from a few different points of view, and also highlights how important exercise is.

Some people are scared of vampires, zombies, etc. I'm terrified of bathrooms!
Hi Jeremy, I thought about your bathroom toilet attack a few times while writing this episode. I didn't hit mine hard enough to get a new toilet though.😊😁😀
Morning from Montreal 🌇thanks for bringing up practical real life Parkinson’s issues. So appreciate the time and effort and sprinkle of humour that you put into your thoughtful,well researched and kind postings. They have made a difference in our lives.❤
Hi Dina, always nice to hear from a fellow Canadian. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. You brought a happy tear to my eyes.😊😁😀
Thanks for the advice/reminder.
You are most welcome, Tom.😊😁😀
Thank you for the talk on falls - so important as you say it is such a high reason for ER visits
Hi Erin, yes anything I can do to avoid one of those visits I will do.😊😁😀
I have found starting my morning exercise with yoga focused on standing on one leg and other balance routines helps a lot.
Thanks for the tip John. One item I wasn't able to fit into the video was an article by the Davis Phinney foundation which stated that they believed that balance could be relearned after being diagnosed with Parkinson's.😊😁😀
Great job ❤I’m definitely at risk of falling and losing my balance when I am off. Especially wearing normal socks! I now swear socks with grips. I will do a video on these today!
Yes please, make that video.😊😁😀
Lots of good information
Glad you think so! Thanks Darlene😊😁😀
I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2010. I have been very fortunate over the years by exercising 3 times a week playing Pickleball and lots of walking. Lately, my sense of balance has gone and I have taken a number of falls both on the pickleball court as well as at home. As I really enjoy playing Pickleball I decided to research what protective equipment I could use to prevent injuries' when I fall playing pickleball. i found a small company in Australia that manufactures a head protectors and hip protectors for those seniors who tend to fall. I ordered a head protector and hip protectors which are very comfortable to wear when playing Pickleball. I have fallen a number of times since wearing these protectors and have not obtained any injuries due to my falls. I would highly recommend these protectors for anybody who wants to stay active.
Hi Terry, thanks for the info. Could you pass on link to the company you are talking about please? I have looked into the balance issue and some feel that it can be re learned in some cases. Perhaps there is a neuro physio in your area that might be knowledgeable? Would be good to know.😊😁😀
Thanks for your tips, I have been holding my wifes hand more now than ever before it is like dating again, never know when she will loose her balance.
Hi Rob, that is such a sweet image of love.😊😁😀
Sorry to hear that Canada isn't supplying the meds you need. Have you tried using the vielight or something comparable yet?
Hi Michele, Vielight is out of my price range at the moment, but there is always hope.😊😀😁
@@LifewithParkinsons That's understandable.
hello my friend
Hi Mike, good to see you!😊😀😁
Please what vitamins you take to avoid fatigue.
That is a tough one, there are so many options and I'm not an expert on vitamins. I've heard other people say they take Taurine for energy.organika.com/products/taurine-3000-ultra-strength
