vibrating gloves for arthritis

[Triever7]

I found these recently and they help some with my left hand tremor. I flip them around so the vibrating pads are on my fingertips. There’s also no vibrating piece in the thumb so I use the finger on the right glove for that. They’re rechargeable and they last a bit more than an hour. Not Tass gloves, to be sure, But they have some short term effect for me.

Product link is too unwieldy. Google vibrating arthritis gloves. I bought mine from Sharper Image for about $100.

Thanks for sharing . I hope that you continue writing about the evolution of the tremor with the use of these gloves.

I have essential tremor and I am looking for solutions. Thank you

sure. Seems like the best solution for essential tremor at the moment is high intensity focused ultrasound. I know of several people who’ve had it and are doing very well. Insurance pays in many cases.

Yes.... in Spain it is free, (Hospitals of the Social Security Institute). 2 weeks ago I had an appointment with the neurologists who are in charge of choosing candidates to receive HIFU.

Test result:

- negative: I have refused to take medication that only slightly improves the symptoms in the short term and has dangerous side effects

- I don't shake much according to them, (I can't pick up glasses with liquids with my right hand, I spill everything on the floor)

-they say that I am 63 years old and will soon be retired, (a retiree can tremble until death from him, he is not an important person ?)

- They say that at the moment the side effects of this treatment have not been studied (hasn't it been working for several years? Do they use a treatment without knowing what will happen to the patient afterwards?)

I got very angry with the neurologists and for now they are going to do a brain scan. I think it is the first step to reach HIFU. I hope I'm lucky and accepted for treatment.
