Trading with Parkinson's disease (my diagnosis).... ideas?

[Hotcakes]

Thanks very much for sharing your experience --- it helps. I'm likely stage 2, mild to moderate symptoms. Goal is to delay progression via exercise. Your points make sense. Good to hear your perspective, I appreciate it.

Embrace dream? My neurologist has me on mirapex/pramipexole, a bad side fx med. Tried l-dopa but no effect. Going to try vegetable juicing plus even more exercise on elliptical.

Mild electro-shock therapy is a modern treatment for dementia and I think Alzheimers now, too. Quite effective. Might be worth looking into

Good. Ken Calhoun ;
i've heard Dr Daniel Amen on the radio; he is much better than average.[amen/Amen clinic]
Parkenson's Foundation has a pic of olive oil, blueberries...……………………………….
BY THE WAY, some say -no cure/as if they know it all.WELL they dont know it all.
IT would be like me saying--no such thing as a volume weighted moving average ;IBD never shows a vwma, my chart service has no vwma.[Actually i've seen miracles/prayer + volume weighted moving average]
Besides, DR+ book writer Reginald Cherry+ his nurse wife would never be dumb enough to say no cure.
NOT a prediction+ not dumb enough to say no cure or I know it all. Good points on your magazine article / vwma

Hi all,

Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease a couple of years ago. It's tougher to type (and trade!) because my left hand tremor is bad.

Any suggestions? At least my right hand is fine so I can use the mouse to trade. I worry about it progressing. My wife and daughter are supportive but I don't want to burden them.

If any of you have experience with this, or just ideas to share I'd sincerely appreciate your thoughts and advice. It's a challenge!

If your open to alternative therapies, there is a growing body of documented evidence of effective therapies.

I had a step-aunt that was able to suppress symptoms for a couple of decades through nutritive therapy. She used to need a walker but was able to restore her health and vitality.

Hi -- not as well as I used to, though I can still play ok. If you look closely at recent videos you can see left hand tremor. I'd say it's about 60% still working ok. Frustrating to lose balance and full use of hands.

It gets progressively worse over time, no cure. The neurologists say vigorous exercise slows progression so I'm doing that. Kinda sucks to be a bit disabled but it's manageable.

Glad I chose trading & teaching as a profession, originally I was pre-med at UCLA and wanted to be a surgeon.

The word "cure" is trademarked by the AMA. If you adopt that paradigm, then as per the definition there is no "cure"

THAT must be one of the many reasons people have fitness, health, healings, cures[plural/LOL] +midwives ...........with out the AMA.
This not an anti doctor comment.DR Reginal Cherry said ''i dont like an apple a day''
Dr Cherry said he likes 2 apples a day.

Thx, great idea. I was thinking of hiring my daughter to help;; she's 20 and here at home. Wondering if I should though, as I want to help her be independent vs being in the trading world. I never want her to feel like she's in my shadow following in footsteps vs charting her own course etc.... big fan of independence.

I like the idea.... am hanging in there for now but will need assistance as it progresses. As Michael J Fox said in an interview it sucks. Others who have/had it include Alan Alda, George W Bush, Neil Diamond, Mohammed Ali, Linda Ronstadt etc.

Sounds good;
even if she loves charts or does not love charts, sounds good.
IF the CPA likes it ,could set her up as an independent contractor . I have done some work for both my parents as an independent contractor.[In both cases we had a cool, signed, 2 copies contract/LOL/true.]
BUT my cpa, never liked charts; more of a numbers guy.IF she is an investor more than a trader=fine also...……………………………………………………………………………………………………………...Carl Ichan, Dave Ramsey,Jim Rogers, IBD founder =investors, who know how to trade.
