I’m glad you got it set up well to work with your personal situation. I have a couple of friends with essential tremor symptoms. One of them went to using speech to text for a while because his typing became too uncontrolled, and the other recently had a brain stimulator surgically installed and that helped quite a bit.
I have some arthritis in my hands but so far it isn’t very bad. But I’m getting cataracts and my right eye can’t be focused to 20/20 and so most reading uses my left eye. I had a medical checkup this morning and my doctor is getting a referral set up so I can look at getting surgery to one eye at a time for the cataracts. As I type this on my large iPad, I notice that the characters are quite distorted and hard to read with my right eye only, even though my progressive focus glasses were updated late last year.
These problems can affect people at nearly any age, but as we get older it’s more likely to be affected by these maladies. I will reach my 69th birthday in about 5 months and have been using some type of email messaging since before there was an internet or IBM PC.
