I have had PD for 2 or 3 years and MS for 15 years. I have very mild symptoms, but typing and walking are effected. I sometimes use Dragon naturally speaking a voice to text program. It really works. I am not using it for this message. I also square dance. There is something about moving to the music and following the directions of the caller that make me forget that I have PD, I get more exercise than the rest of the week and have so much fun I am working part time from home tella commuting hope this helps Warren Karzen 760 839 0635 Individual Investor Technology NOTICE: All email sent to or from the Charles Schwab corporate email system may be retained, monitored and/or reviewed by Schwab personnel.
