I tell people "why yes this is my sippy cup! Don't you wish YOU had one!" Then I give a little wink. 😆 game over.👍

My husband drinks out of a child's cup that I bought from dollar tree. The handle fills up as I fill the cup. The handle is also a straw. I have only been able to find this cup at dollar tree. It's not your regular sippy cup. When he first started using it and we would be in a restaurant, he was worried people would be watching him. I told him that if they made fun of him using the cup then it's their problem. I said don't worry, it works for you and that is the only thing that matters. I don't care what others think. Yes, I will answer questions, but I will not go out of my way to tell them what is going on. No one knows what shape they may wind up in one day.

@Frik I totally agree. I have never had anyone be as direct as to ask what is wrong with me but I have few visible symptoms. Being in a wheelchair however affords me the opportunity to explain Parkinsons to whomever shows interest. I have a sign on the back of my transport wheelchair that says “I have Parkinson’s,you can ask me anything “ . Frequently people in waiting rooms do. I believe we all need to be ambassadors to inform as many people as possible. I commend you on your efforts.
