Well I have no idea if I am doing this right, but the normal thing to happen trying to type this - pretty off and waiting for meds to kick in - would be to go into complete dystonia. I have to admit that even tho my body wants to be in dystonia, and this usually means my good side also, the wraps have kept my shoulders unlocked, my toe can be controlled from curling, my hand straightened out, and if i had more wraps i'd see if face and speech would loosen up. my good side is fine - typing with it. I don't see where it's helping me get "on", but it is helping to keep dystonia at bay.

I have wraps on both upper arms, around the chest, both ankles and my bad wrist. i don't have tremor.

Also, i slept with upper arms wrapped and didn't have dystonia this morning.

I think something is definitely beneficial but of course must try many more times.

Count me in!
Thelma that was me on the street...had I seen you I would have come running over so that everyone could see we knew each other!
