  • I am often asked to repeat myself or speak louder because I can’t be heard.
  • I feel like people can’t understand what I’m saying.
  • I feel unbalanced when I walk and do my daily activities because I shuffle my feet.
  • I have difficulty performing daily activities, such as getting in and out of the bed or car, daily chores, and moving in general.
