Muscle Fatigue

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭
Philadelphia, PA

My question regards muscle fatigue. I find that my leg muscles are unnaturally fatigued after several minutes of exercise. I’ve always had exceptionally strong legs and now I cannot get my mail without them feeling like pudding . It is a common experience ?

You are not alone .Any exercise does leave me feeling very fatigued so rest a little bit afterwards it helps to recharge.

Same here, but keep doing as much as you can. There are several good Parkinson’s exercise videos on YouTube.

Paatriciabates - I know how you feel, but you are going to regret it if you don't get out and try walking, Because some day \you may not be able to walk at all. For the sake of your sanity, keep on trying to get as much exercise as you possibly can.
I am a bit older than you are, I'm sure but although I stumble about like a drunken SAILOR, (which incidentally I was) I still have to prove to myself that this malady will not rule me. So, my dear, keep on truckin'!
