Using a computer with PD
Subject: Using computers with PD Ref: Email from rodrig@xxxxxxx My Parkinson's was diagnosed 16 yrs ago, so you will not be surprised to hear that in the (fairly rare) times that I mis- calculate and find my self "going off", the mouse on my computer ends up chasing its tail across the entire screen! However, I have found that if I disconnect the mouse, and replace it with a tracker ball, (If you are not familiar with this, it is like a mouse turned on its back, and fitted with a much larger ball.) I find that I can then cope with typing and controlling the computer ( although it is very slow ). I would be lost without my computer. Don't give up ! Regards Brian Collins ( bjc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
