Guest guest Posted March 5, 2002 Report Share Posted March 5, 2002 I've heard a lot of talk about the lack of facial expression and any outward emotion in PD and MSA patients. This is becoming more and more of a problem for me. My friends and family think I'm " blue " (i.e. depressed) when more often than not my emotions are completely absent. Sometimes, I get the feeling like I'm in a room inside my body and there's no doors or windows to let anything in or out. I have thoughts and feelings but they seem to just stay locked inside, with no means of expression. Naturally, this reduces the perception that I'm a " fun guy " ... I just have this blank, lights are on but nobody's home, kind of look to myself (from what people say). Others have described it as looking hollow. I know what they mean, because when they mention it, I do feel sort of empty... I find that in these times, my cognitive functions (memory, organization, etc.) all head for the dumper as well. Do caregivers and other MSA patients notice this sort of thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
