Cell phone app for Parkinson's Disease-

Hello readers,

  I recently downloaded an app for my cell phone for people with Parkinson's Disease. It's called the PD Life app. You can record your medications and the time you take them and it will alert you with a little ringtone. You also can track how you feel during the day, symptoms and side effects. It is very helpful to caregivers for their patients. 

  Note: it can only be used for IPhone's. Download it today and try it!

Lovingly, AlwaysaDiva
