If you have dementia, DBS won't help. It mostly helps with tremors and dystonia/dyskinesia. In the early stages, it is hard to differentiate between PD and the other Parkinsonisms. Sometimes it takes years to figure it out.

I find predictive text very useful as it definitely speeds up my messaging.
Speech to text also works well for me but that can only really be used when I am alone.

Bob I think Parkinson’s is different for everyone. I focus on what I can do and we try to walk twice a day and that helps my walking which is my only troubling symptom.

Have a bgreat day!
