Does anyone have trouble with typing? I can't seem to keep my fingers on the correct letters and I don't seem to apply the same pressure to different letters as I type. I also seem to to inadvertently shake when trying to type. I make so many errors. Could this be a Parkinson's symptom? Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Using keyboards can be very frustrating at times. I was never a very good typist, but I've gone from a fair typist, to a pretty bad typist. Also using a "mouse" with the computer is a little frustrating. The "right click" is not like it used to be... The tremors cause numerous "right clicks" all the time.
Just have to keep on plugging along, and do the best you can.
Indeed I do. Almost exactly as you described.
Yes, Heidi, difficulty with typing can be related to Parkinson's. Symptoms like tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia (slowness of movement) can affect fine motor skills, making typing challenging. Here are some suggestions:
1. Use voice-to-text software to reduce typing
2. Try keyboards with larger keys or adaptive Show Full Answer
