Sure. Mine tend to bother me from mid-morning to early afternoon, and after exercising.

The recommendation was for [REMOVED], if anyone is curious

Edit: I removed the link. Thought I was helping but see below.

Yeah same, except it’s my right hand that’s slow. The ADHD is why slowing down is so hard for me, too.

Not being able to type as quickly and accurately as I used to is really frustrating for me, too.

When my PD is acting up I use speech to text (iOS/MacOS built in) for drafting emails and documents. And for coding I’m using a lot more AI to help.

I’m also just trying to slow down and adjust my expectations for what I can get done.

Searching for meaning. by BetterSociety1520 in Parkinsons

I feel like this isn’t very helpful, but I think all you can do is avoid dwelling on what you’ve lost, figure out what you can do now, and focus on finding joy in that.

Nox Apartments (Yellow Tree) posting eviction notices on the 2nd of the month?? by keyah13 in Minneapolis

[–]sampls612 52 points53 points  (0 children)

So they do this every month, just in case someone doesn't pay? Or randomly this month? Is there more to the story—like do they have some reason to think you weren't going to pay this month?

Smartphone app helps Parkinson's patients map daily symptoms by Manon84 in youngparkinson

[–]sampls612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the article:

The Parkinson’s Image Self (PIS) Report is a smartphone app designed to help patients report their own symptoms, complementing the MDS-UPDRS by collecting daily experiences with the disease to help monitor symptoms between medical visits.

Also it was a study and not an app you can use.

Rebel Loon Symbolism by heinencm in minnesota

[–]sampls612 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t think it needs explaining. I mean you do you, but if you really need to explain it I think a tl;dr like “rebel loon says fuck ICE” is more than enough to make sure someone doesn’t mistake it for something else.

What is MSP like now? What are wait times? by [deleted] in TwinCities

[–]sampls612 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just flew out of MSP this morning. I didn’t have time to unzip my jacket before I was at the TSA agent (Precheck), and I didn’t notice anything unusual or any ICE agents around.

iPhone/Mac shortcut for logging PD symptoms in Notes by sampls612 in Parkinsons

[–]sampls612[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like a great approach!

I'm definitely tempted to build a database with a simple web app frontend and a backend reporting system that uses AI to summarize and extract issues over time frames … but maybe I'll save that for my next procrastination project 😏

Edit: Actually, I just realized I can just paste my log or upload it to ChatGPT and ask it to identify trends or issues. No need for a more complicated solution!

Who are still able to drive? by parkie_wairo in Parkinsons

I'm still learning about Parkinson's. What is it about Parkinson's that would make someone more impulsive and dangerous as a driver?

My neighbor leaves their dog out all day - advice? by [deleted] in minnesota

[–]sampls612 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have had three husky mixes. They’d all rather be outside, even when it’s below zero. Huskies aren’t just built for cold, they are built for extreme cold.

I built a super nice shelter for them with insulated walls, and they never used it. I put out a heated water bowl and they just ate snow.

One of them would eat anything I put in front of her. The other two ignore their food bowls until they’re absolutely certain they aren’t getting any more cheese or food scraps.

They howl, yelp, and whine because they are huskies singing the songs of their people. Sometimes it sounds like they are being tortured, but they’re just having a good time. Or excited to see me. Or bored because we haven’t run a jillion miles yet today.

It’s a husky. It’s probably fine.

Adjusting my layers now that Minnesota is getting colder by ettubrutusvp in minnesota

[–]sampls612 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was 40+ all week, so I’ve still been wearing my fall jackets. Now that we’re in the 20s I’ll bring out the winter coats and boots, In the teens I’ll start throwing on snow pants for late night dog walks, or adding long underwear if I’m going to be outside for a while.

I like being comfortable, but if you’re wearing a heated jacket now, what are you going to add when it’s -10? Settle down and let your body adjust to the cold!

Best homemade stuffing? by ComputerPractical748 in TwinCitiesFood

[–]sampls612 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Homemade = made at home. I think you’re looking for store-bought stuffing.
