Hi everyone,
Wondering if anyone has had experience with occupational therapy and if it was successful. I type alot on my job and I am having trouble with first 3 fingers of left hand (tremor side). They are slow and the right hand is faster and it causes confusion when typing. Also when the fingers are tired have to focus to get them to work. I have first appointment on Thurs. My neurologist gave me a prescription for OT and said sometimes it works for people. I haven't started taking any meds yet - dx 7/7/10. Thanks for any sharing on this subject. I love the sharing on this site!!!!!

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
I don't have PD but I've had experience with occupational therapist.
I had a problem with my shoulders and she gave me exercises to do which helped. .
It was also recommended that I see a physiotherapist, but after the second treatment, she made it worse because she tried to move things in my spine. I would stick with the occupational therapist and hope you have good luck.
