    Hi Robyn

    I listened with interest on how you monitor your symptoms. I was pleased to see that some others were keen to hear more too. After reading your replies I started reading some articles on ProPD and found they have developed an app for iphone and ipad users called Parkinsons Symptom Tracker. I was wondering if this is what your husband modified, or this is new to you? Or have any others used this app yet?

    I am tempted to use a combination of the app and a modified written one.

    I was actually diagnosed just over a month ago, and I’m 56 years young. Just recently finished the 10 week challenge and like Susie Black I want to be able to teach my children and my two very young (2yrs & 7 weeks) grandchildren how to handle adversity and be an inspiration to them by doing all I can to remain positive in my life and to improve the quality of my future life.

Tracker

Tracker

The tracker is designed to help you track the amount of time you spend in scheduled exercise each day. Scheduled exercise is activity you have prioritised in your day for health and to help slow your Parkinson’s down. This might include PD Warrior exercise, fast walking, golfing, going to the gym etc. It does not include incidental activity such as housework & gardening (although we hope this increases too). The aim of the tracker is to help you build an exercise habit and to keep you accountable, so try and enter something each day.
At the end of the 10 Week Challenge you can download and review your overall performance.
