Day 2 with no dystonia. I keep the wraps on alot, giving myself a break from them here and there. I'm retired and can do this when I don't have to go anywhere. I wasn't quite 'on' when my steak was ready to eat tonight so I wrapped my head. Had no trouble swallowing so who knows?

My daughter walked in from work and said, "Oh I see those things have multiple uses." lol

No luck
 

Had my husband who is in early stage of PD try the banding on his hand--no difference in speed of turning hand back and forth. Also on his head--no change in speech volume. Didn't tell him why I was doing this until the end. Am I missing something? Any thoughts?

maybe
 

try wrapping loosely entire arm. use a simpler test like typing. try with light glove.

try wrapping scarf around throat. extend over entire head,

Some Success!
 

Have been following the posts on banding with much interest and started my own experiments last night with the following results.

'Head Band' - unbelievable results! My late evening shuffle disappeared! My posture improved! Could go from sitting to standing without the balance issue! Could step back and turn corners with ease! Face more animated!
Removed the band and improvements disappeared. Put it back on and all came back. Just 'felt' better overall.

Unfortunately have not found the 'banding spot' for tremor when "off'. Tremor is my biggest problem. Also have not found the solution for the grippy toes as the meds wear off. But will keep trying. Think I need more ace bandages! Maybe the mummy wrap will be the answer!

Wandering through the archives...
 

Thought that it might be a good idea to bump up some of the more interesting old stuff I will limit it to threads that I started simply because there is too much not to filter it somehow. I hope that there is some value here.
