The predictive text calls it menstruation, but we know that is not correct.

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member - are you looking for the word festination or festinating? That would make sense. Since festinating is leaning forward and taking small steps that get faster and faster until you are out of control, it makes sense that running could be easier than walking, since that is basically what running is, as long as you are able to stop yourself without falling.
