My Parkinson's Disease

I read the other stories from people like me who have Parkinson's. I have a problem with my hands shaking. It's not easy to eat as my hand shakes as I go to my mouth. My Parkinson's was diagnosed last month so I am in the beginning. I want to read other peoples experience as time passes.

  1. I am sure it is frustrating to have to struggle to be able to eat
    comfortably.I have friend who purchased utensils designed for hand tremors through Amazon and they seem to have made a difference for her. Medical supply companies should also carry them.There seem to be various styles available. Good luck on finding something to make your eating experience more enjoyable.

    1. , If you go to an occupational therapist,I would ask their advice would be most beneficial. In my case, I purchased a set of weighted utensils from Amazon or a healthcare supply store. The weighted spoons, forks, and knives. Best, Marc M.., Moderator, parkinsonsdisease.net
