About Me
I am 60 yrs. old and for about 2 years noticed a handwriting that was getting worse and the very small. If I wrote much my hand would cramp very bad. My husband noticed a very bad slump in my posture. I walk fine, but am very slumped over. I also felt a slowness, can't really explain it, but thought it was my age. This summer as I walk I noticed I wanted to draw up my are and I knew this wasn't right. I also became a very emotional person for no reason. Now this all adds up. Penni
