Have you ever been told, “You look tired,” or “Are you upset?” - when you’re not?
Facial expression changes are common in Parkinson’s. It’s not about how you feel. It’s about how the muscles of the face move.
In this week’s Pearls for Parkinson’s: Tips for Daily Living with Parkinson's, we’re talking about:
• Why expression changes happen
• How this affects communication
• Simple exercises to keep facial muscles active
• Strategies to help others read you better
• Building confidence in social settings
Your emotions are still there.
Sometimes they just need a little more intention to show.
