A woman appears in a video about a very special pen, the ARC, specifically designed for people with Parkinson's living with micrographia. Diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2013, the woman says that, over time, her writing changed. It got smaller and smaller and smaller. Another man interviewed in the video also revealed his writing got smaller and smaller. This does not surprise those familiar with the disease. An associated problem is a condition called micrographia. Writing can get so small that it is almost impossible to see.
