Relax Barbara, if one is inflected it's difficult to mask it in the
public. Who cares what people think, if they think your clumsy or had
one too many Gin Fizzes so what. Relax and enjoy yourself and see if the
symptoms don't seem so bad whilst in the publics eye. And if you have
the occasional mishap, just move on as if no one is there.
I don't know if it's denial or self confidence but this attitude gets me
along just fine.
Maybe some of the others in chairs can give incite as to how they cope
in public situations?
Thank you DCJones {Dave}
