I do too mate. My Mrs often gets it for me when she sees I’m struggling. What’s even worse is the damn packaging and bottles they put our meds in 
. The boffins didn’t put as much effort in when designing those did they
Cheers

Hello @Just-a-old-guy, you won’t be alone in finding it hard to open the top of screw-top jars. We understand it’s frustrating not being able to do things you used to, this can be really difficult.
Parkinson’s can make using your hands for small movements like opening jars tricky. We spoke to a specialist physiotherapist to share tips and exercises to help with dexterity: Dexterity and Parkinson's | Parkinson's UK
We’ve also got jar and bottle openers on our online shop which you might find helpful to allow you to open them yourself: Jar and bottle grip opener – Parkinson's UK shop , Universal jar and bottle opener – Parkinson's UK shop
Take care
