Parkinson's -- step count

[MaynardGKrebs]

I use my Fitbit mainly to track my sleep, which is affected by my medical condition.

However, it would be nice to get an accurate step count, too.

My steps are hugely undercounted because I wear the Fitbit on my left wrist. That's my non-dominant hand, and it's the arm that doesn't move when I walk (a VERY common problem with PD).

Don't tell me to swing my arm, because I do try, but it's hard to remember every minute of the day.

I prefer not to wear the Flex on my right wrist because it would feel weird (I'm very right-handed).

Is there some way to fix this? Up the sensitivity, maybe?

Welcome @MaynardGKrebs! Thanks for sharing your experience. In my case as teacher for little children I move my hands a lot and clap a lot too, this might give me sometimes some extra steps. What I do is to change my Flex's placing. I put it on my pocket. 

Give it a try and let me know! 😉
