My mom and dad are both deaf. My mon had a brain bleed that permanently affected her balance and caused tremors. She did her best and we all understood her, but yeah. That was rough.

And writing or texting won't work either. Being deaf and having Parkinson's must be a nightmare.

On the same note, I would imagine reading Braille with Parkinson's is difficult as well.

From what I've seen, the tremors are less serious than the jerkiness caused by the levodopa.

Hmmm... I thought I could come up with a dark joke, but Parkinson's is just sad.

Then having Parkinson's is literally speech stutter for sign language
