Welcome to my world! I haven’t reached the ‘sippy cup’ stage, but I use plate ware and my glasses are plastic. My tea cup always has a saucer. It is just one of those things.

I drop things easily. They just slip through my fingers. I guess grip not strong enough.

I just had to laugh out loud, litterally! I am no longer trusted to hold anything! I feel like the "bull in the China shop"!

I am not so sure that it is a lack of grip. My doctor explained the agonist and antagonist muscles and how they do not work with the mis-firing of the neurons in PD and you do not have a synergistic relationship between the muscles. I have noticed what seems to be objects "flying" out of my hands. It seems that I actually grasp things too tightly and it then flies from my hand.

I too only have plastic daily dishes and "glasses", otherwise we would be left with nothing to eat or drink from!
