Your best bet is to contact the Ministry of Silly Walks.

Uncoordinated! My body wants to move faster than my legs will take me, sometimes. Sometimes I fall! Ataxia can be problematic, and Parkinson’s Disease processes seem to add to this difficulty. So, like with me, that was not a silly question! Thank you for participating in this forum.

You could be talking about your postural stabilities (festination). We tend to lean forward in an effort to establish movement or simply because we are scared of falling backwards......

or....

When my body has it's uptake of meds I sometimes feel anxious or "pepped up" , ........or nauseous depending on timing with food and what I have eaten.

This is just my "stab in the dark" or "arm chair" offering based on 16 years of drugs and 7 years of DBS. The bottom line is it could be any of these or a combination of.

Best of luck regulating the everyday differences. Just stay of the right side of the turf!
