I Have Problems With The Right Keys On My Tablet Or Phone Screen

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭
Amherst, NY

When my fingers are so jerky, I have a hard time hitting the right keys. Sometimes it takes a dozen times, especially to put something in the space bar (is that the right word?) for searching. It doesn’t have words that pop up to help you.
