tremor and Tass glove

[saraoutwest]

for those of you lucky enough to get your hands on a Tass glove that are tremor dominant, how has it affected the tremor? Any success of reduction?

[Manypony]

yes, in spite of the fact that wearing them makes me anxious and tremor more at first my tremor is overall reduced

Hi do you have the actual Taas gloves? Please tell me where to get them. I have been following the clinical trials for awhile but thought the second series of trials was not completed yet?

[Manypony in reply to Shililly]

I’m in a trial at Synergic labs in Eugene Oregon synergicmed.com/storage/app...

[Shililly in reply to Manypony]

Great for you! i tried to get in but dont live there and they only took people living there. How are you feeling? You mentioned tremors are the continuing to improve? thanks

[Manypony in reply to Shililly]

Yes, I also use mucuna just once per day with carbidopa which helps

[Shililly in reply to Manypony]

How much and what is the product name? Tremors getting better?

[Manypony in reply to Shililly]

I use naturebell brand 30% levadopa and 1/4 tablet of carbidopa. It reduces my tremor. The gloves actually exacerbate the tremor when I first put them on but i have less tremor now than before.

I am so glad to read about the reduction in your tremors after using the gloves. Did you notice any other improvements?

[Manypony in reply to cgreg]

Mostly they have helped with brain fog and other cognitive issues

OT: Essential Tremor

Has anyone tried the Tass glove or diy version of it to treat Essential Tremor?

Any references would be welcome.

I was searching for this same info (thanks to this forum). I just started to use a DIY PDboard (easier to build vs the glove, but not much flexibility). I'm 2 days into using it. Within 1 day, I noticed my legs felt much less heavy, and moving my body/turning while walking was not as challenging. I was able to jog much quicker/easier and beat my 1-mile time best record since PD. My back felt better too, and didn't feel sore, and I didn't have to think to keep my posture correct. I think my hand tremors worsen, but it sounds like this is normal startup behavior based on Manypony's official Tass glove. Today was good, but yesterday I felt better. I did start with 2 hours of evening therapy the night before vs. 1 hour and 20 minutes last night. I must state a few things: I don't take C/L medication (maybe once every two weeks for special occasions). I also started taking B1 sublingual about 5 days ago. I do exercise regularly, especially jogging/sprint/speed walking mix which took two/three months for the symptoms to finally reduce or some go away (before that, the symptoms were taking me down fast). I have noticed that mixing in sprints in my jogs did wonders; unfortunately, I injured my upper thigh (can't sprint for a couple of weeks). I'm hoping the vibration therapy will fix my tremors (and of course any of the PD symptoms). I would love to hear people's experiences on improving their PD tremors (bonus for those using vibration technology/Dr. Tass glove...).
