My "PD symptoms" started to progress over the last month. My right foot is cramping, wanting to curl up, making it pretty difficult to walk for more than 10 minutes at a time.
I had stated earlier on my website www.newfacesofparkinsons.com on my story update page, that since starting the neuroassist program back in April of 2009, " My symptoms had not progressed".
Now, that this is changing, it is forcing me to re-evaluate, how I can continue to help myself. And for me, that involves changing what I put in my body. Food plays a key role in how I feel.
The following is a link for you to look up nutritional content for fruits and vegetables. I found it helpful and thought you would too!

Nutritional Information of Fruits and Vegetables
Breakfast today is simple. 1 whole personal Watermelon. Hard to believe, but it really is filling. I couldn't eat the whole thing and shared with my boyfriend.
I walked on my treadmill this morning for 30 minutes.... I have added ankle weights. 1-1/2 lbs for each ankle. It does help a bit in keeping my momentum going when my foot starts to cramp up. But, still had to stop and stretch out the cramps for 5- 10 seconds and then continue on. I also used my personal mini trampoline (it really helps eliminate stress on your joints) for about 15 minutes and did stretching for about 10 minutes.
