    In case you’re curious: Parkinson’s isn’t always the shaking kind (tremors). Many patients experience rigidity and difficulties moving. For example, writing becomes impossible after a while because the hand can’t hold the pen any more. The hand sort of cramps up.

      Indeed. Difficulties moving in some cases can be sort of locking up while walking and not being able to continue moving forward. There’s also dementia that goes with in at least some cases. My mom had it. Horrible stuff.
