Hei evreybody

A little tips.

I have dad several smartphone since i was diagnosed with parkinson and there was 2 problems with all of them.

a) I had to repeat all what i said severel times .....Heee , tell again please.

Very irritating

b) typing a text for a sms was a 1 houers job.

It went wrong all time.

Then i bougth an Iphone from apple (not an expensive model )

I was very supprised.

My first call and the other end answer rigth away without .......Heee , what....

I have never been asked to repeet a message with that phone regardless if i'm using internal or external speeker.

Also , typing a text for sending on sms is no problem.

It goes rigth in 90 %.

So going from LG to iphone was a big suprise and a big help .

All the best

Another thing is to use the smarthphone to keep up the time when to take the medisine.

i have started to use the countdown function.

For me is the best time 2 houer and 50 minutes.

When i awake in the morning and take the first medisin i just press start and the countdown starts.

This results in the same time-window for taking the medicine and had a very good effekt on my wellness.

Before i started with this i thougth i did well but have to admit that there was a big differense using the smartphone count down.

I started this in front of taking more medisin but the effect was so good that i didnt have to take so mutch more.

Also , it is easy to eksperiment a little on the time between taking the medisin.

I redused the time from 4 houers to 2 houers and 50 minutes.

And of cause , i dont have to remember the time anymore.

Some mornings i start medication 0700 and other mornings 0830.

Depends when i awake.

The easy system works anyway.

All the best
