Handwriting Difficulties
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

Ugh, I'm really just venting. I had to write an important number down and of course, when I needed it, I could not read it.

Does anyone else have this annoying problem?

Try doing some on a computer or cell phone using voice command to type or write

You should be able to find games like that you use voice command to fill in the answers

I went to the bank to withdraw money from my account and I told the teller that I had Parkinson's, and that my signature may not be the same as in my book.
She said no problem, I can arrange for a stamp to be made and all you need to do is bring it with you when you do anything that requires a signature.
I thought that was a fantastic idea, no more panic over my signature.

Ask about whether your bank or whoever needs your signature if they supply a stamp

I am very frustrated with my once beautiful handwriting looking like hieroglyphics - illegible and unreadable! I used to love sending cards to people. Now it can take me up to an hour to write ā€œDear ..........ā€ and a one line message and ā€œwith love from etcā€. The worst thing is when I try to correct my writing and use lots of TIP-EX to cover it up & re-write! I have had to tear up many cards & start again. Iā€™m rather dreading doing my Xmas cards. Just a couple of tips- it helps me if I rule pencil lines into the card and then write slowly & carefully, aiming for big writing. I then rub out the pencil lines. Also it helps if you know exactly what words you want to write. I often type out what I want to say on my iPad first & then copy or print out text & stick it into the card!
