I thought I was alone with my internal tremors which is my primary symptom. I was diagnosed with PD a year ago and have gotten no relief from Levidopa, no matter what the dose . My neurologist took me off the Levidopa and has me trying Amantadine which hasn't helped. Since there seem to be a lot of us out there with the "jitters" it seems hard to believe that there is no treatment. How did you ever discover the Beech Band? It seems like that is the only thing that might work for me. Many thanks for sharing.

My wife discovered it. it kept coming up on her Facebook. She researched it, watched his videos and thought couldn't hurt to give it a try.
I would say make sure you give it a few weeks don't just give up on it because it might not work right away. I am fortunate it worked for me almost immediately. Some have said they don't like the buzzing. You can get used to that and I don't find it to be a problem at all, and you can move it around on your wrist to where the buzzing is not as noticeable. It worked so well for me that I will put up with a little buzzing and seriously you get used to it. My kids and wife have been amazed by how well it works. I own 4 of them b/c the batteries don't last long. They did just come out with an 8 battery which is great (only have 1 of the 8 hr). I have so many in case I'm on a trip or long day and need to change them out. I don't use mine 24/7. Once you've done it and it works you can take a break or go without it for a while and just use as needed.
I wish you all the best and hope it works for you.
