Having read the reviews and reflected on my own personal experience, I felt compelled to add my voice. I am 3 years in to my journey living with Parkinson’s with symptoms like left hand tremor, fatigue and the start of speech issues exacerbated by fatigue.I too read the reviews on Beechband and decided to give it go. Parkinson’s is a very complex and very personal condition with over 40 symptoms. Therefore as two people's journeys are never them my expectations were that it wasn't a 'silver bullet'. But if it helped in any way, however small to make my life easier, then it would be worth it.Point 1: Set expectations. It is not a silver bullet. Unfortunately, if it doesn't work for you then that is not the beechbands fault however disappointing it may be. But persevere and give it time.Luckily for me it has stopped my left hand tremor when I wear it, although that returns less prominent once I remove it for charge. Evidence, seems to being gathered at great speed and already shows that the BeechBand shows benefit for many people over a diverse range of conditions. This is a start up company going through a rapid pace of growth and part of the cost of that is resourcing, especially in customer experience. So I would suggest to be mindful of this. The team are people with the greatest of integrity, humility and passion to improve people's lives by getting access to more people, in more places at an affordable cost. The founder has Parkinson's himself and I have followed his journey from the start. They are good people wanting trying to make a difference in other people's lives. BeechBand it not a scam - it is a real company with people who genuinely care about doing the right thing.I agree that the strap is difficult as I have got wide wrists and kept coming unclipped occasionally but it's not a game changer nor is the 4 hours or so it lasts. Infact, as I wear mine all day I plug myself in to the while on the sofa in the evening. So, in summary, and thankyou for indulging me if you have got this for:- it doesn't work for all but persevere - it's a not silver bullet so set realistic expectations- it's a fast growing start up company so there will always be teething problems- the product is of lower price point than many other products to reach more people- the people leading this do actually care about doing the right thing for the right reasons. Even the founder is a fellow Parky.It is a difficult journey for all of us. I would rather not live with Parkinson’s - but I do, but would rather read kind and respectful but honest comments and think of those who are genuinely trying to make a difference in other people's lives. Thankyou
