Has Anyone Found That Since Having Parkinsons They Hgave Discovered Their Artistic Side

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭
Perth, AU

Before PD I had no desire to do anything in the way of arts and crafts but since having PD I have found that I have a talent at doing mosaics. I have also had a lot of success at silk flower arrangements. and my home looks like I have had a decorator in to style it. I get compliments all the time for my décor and my beautiful courtyard. I guess something good has to come out of having PD. Has anyone else found they have hidden talents

Creativity is essentially a right brain function. Perhaps you PD has affected your left brain (i.e. your tremours are in your right hand) and the brain is trying to compensate for the loss of left brain function, by increasing the functionality of the left brain. Just a thought.

Hi there, I have not experienced that yet, but maybe I will. It will be interesting to see what others say. I wish my house looked like a decorator had done it. I am reading more though.
