    Marla Klein replied to the topic Do you struggle to write? If so, are there any tools you use to help you? in the forum Living ​With​ ​Parkinson's Disease 7 months, 1 week ago

    My husband found weighted pens have helped in the beginning. Now he prefers dictation although he struggles with his speech and is in big speech therapy. At times voice activation can’t pick up his voice and he becomes frustrated as his typing is hard to do at times too. So on good days voice activation on his  iPad and he does most of his st…[Read more]

      Hi Marla,

      Thanks so much for reaching out. I’ll definitely keep you in the loop and when we get a small group together, we can try to find a time that’s manageable for everyone.

      Could you give me your email address so that I can add you to my list?

      – Diana

I suspect my husband has had it for at least 6 or 7 years . There were so many signs I didn’t get it until falling and tremor grew worse and short term memory kicked in too.  Doing well so far on the me…[Read more]
