Enhanced Tremor Using a Computer

Does anyone with Parkinsons experience enhanced symptoms when using a computer or a cell phone. I often experience enhanced tremor and I am wondering if it is purely stress related or something more insidious, especially given the increasing evidence of links to health problems from overuse of cell phones.

Response:

Yes indeed. I have heard many reports from individuals who can not even get near a computer due to heightened electromagnetic sensitivity. You are not alone!

How about it out there? Who else experiences enhanced tremors when using a computer?

In some of the research I have been doing I discovered that there is a connection between agent orange and Parkinsonism. When we were at the last symposium, I think that I asked the question whether any of the Parkinsons patients grew up on farms or came into contact with insecticides and pesticides. Now I would include the question to include if any of these folks served in southeast Asia between 1961 and 1967.

Lessons After Living with Parkinsons for Eleven Years

What follows is an inspiration listing of eleven lessons learned by Lynn after living with Parkinson’s 11 years.

Road to Recovery from Parkinsons Disease


After living with this condition for over 11 years, I have learned:

a) Not to blame every health misstep on Parkinson’s. In fact, now I look at every other reason first.

b) Not to think I am deteriorating or the PD is getting “worse”. It just is what it is. I don’t believe in giving it too much power.

c) Not to believe everything a Dr tells me.

d) To follow my own path, when something feels good or right to me regardless of the opinion of others.

e) That laughter, singing and dancing are beneficial in the treatment of this condition.

f) To respect everyone’s right to do what they think is best for them. They are usually right.

g) To be positive (for the most part), there already are cures in the form of homeopathy, a stroke, I once heard of someone who had a back operation and as a side benefit, was cured of PD.

h) That being aware and proactive in my treatment is a must.

i) To be gracious in receiving. (This is a hard one to learn)

j) I dislike being called a “Parky”. I am a person. If you label me, you negate me. (that’s from Konrad Lorenz).

k) I don’t have a disease (the visual of which is something that’s eating away at me). I have a condition, as the Chinese Medicine Doctors put it.

Below is a replay of my interview on Parkinsons Recovery Radio with  Master Mingtong Gu who discused qigong for Parkinsons and is the founder of The Chi Center located in Sonoma County, California. The center offers online and in-person courses, workshops, events and retreats in Wisdom Healing Qigong.

Master Mingtong Gu, founder of The Chi Center has helped his students in their Parkinson’s recovery and explains how the practice can help you. Master Gu trained in Wisdom Healing Qigong at the largest Qigong medicine-less hospital in China.

Qigong for Parkinsons

Wisdom Healing Qigong is the form of medical Qigong that matches ancient movements, meditation and sounds to fit modern medical conditions. Qigong for Parkinsons is very beneficial. It reconnects the mind and the body— helping the mind focus, the brain build neural connections, the body move, the heart find joy.

Neuroscience is now able to map the changes in the brain from a practice like Qigong. Master Gu  offers online courses so that people of all ages with challenging health conditions can practice anywhere. He leads the only North American WHQ Retreats modeled on China’s successful program, offering 5-30 day intensive practice for chronic and acute conditions, including Parkinson’s. The Chi Center is located in Sonoma County CA. www.chicenter.com

Master Gu trained with Grandmasters in China and Tibet, including Grandmaster Ming Pang, the founder of Wisdom Healing Qigong. He is the author of the Pure Qi Online Courses and the books Wisdom Healing Qigong and Sound Healing Technologies. He was recognized by the 13th World Congress on Qigong and Traditional Chinese Medicine with Qigong Master of the Year award.
