Big Weighted Fat Pens for Parkinsons Patients, Essential Tremors, Arthritis Hand and Low Grip Strength - Heavy Weighted Pen to Help Parkinson's, Carpal Tunnel, Elderly(1 Pack with 4 Ink Refill)

Purchase this from my mom who has Alzheimer’s and her hands have been shaking and getting worse. She was getting upset because she couldn’t write her name in script with this purchase. She is able to do so not 100% but so much better. Great gift for anyone elderly in your life.

Good product

I like that it helps with the hand. tremors. I discovered that the pen,s top button is easily pushed and if wearing the Landyard around neck the pen marks clothing and can't get the stain out. The ink is like a Sharpie. I tried rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, Colgate toothpaste with Baking soda & Peroxide gently rubbing with a toothbrush in circular motion and put Tide with Oxy. My mistake is I didn't see the black marks until one week later when doing laundry. Since then I've Googled and looked on Wiki for ways to get black Sharpie out of clothes. Two things I didn't try is hairspray. and Acetone Nail Polish Remover. I'm trying it now and letting it sit a while before washing. Don't make the same mistake I made before trying to remove the black marks. Start treating it right away. One site said put paper towel under the reverse side to catch the black bleeding thru. Wish I had known this before. Otherwise, the weighted pen helps the tremors except when I consume caffeine, even chocolate. Trying to stay free of all caffeine items.

These are perfect for my hands. I have shakes in my hands. And this heavier utensils are outstanding.

I don't have Parkinson's but found this pen to fit/feel good in my hand. My husband looked at it and once he picked up the pen he wanted it.. said it was sturdy and helped him write better.. now he has it.. oh well 🙂.

I bought this to try to improve my unsteady handwriting. The ink leaked into my purse, ruining it. I tried to replace it with a refill and the pen doesn't even click to open with the new cartridge. I was not able to ever clean out the ink from the tip of the pen after numerous tries. Maybe my pen was a fluke but I'm upset that I never got to use it past the initial time I opened it brand new. If you order this, pay attention to it for leaks!

I ordered these short fat pens for my 82 year old mom who’s been struggling with tremors the last few years. She used to write songs & poems all the time, in fact, she’s written over 300 gospel songs! The tremors took that away. They had gotten so bad that she could no longer fill out the withdrawal slips at the bank & you couldn’t make out her signature. She tried this pen when they came in a week or so ago, put that lanyard around her neck & has never taken it off!!! She said it’s super comfortable to hold, it’s cute as a button, writing is easy again, the ink comes out smooth & we can actually read her handwriting now!!! She’s back to making grocery lists & even the ladies at her bank are impressed. I'm about to order her another set just to have for backup! What a great deal for a little independence! 🙌🏼

I've had ET for 20+ years and it's progressive - so much worse the past 6 years! I used to have great handwriting, now there are times when it's illegible, even to me - it's bad in both hands (right handed). I've bought other gizmos in the past to help reduce my ET while writing and none have been useful at all, until this one. Of course I was skeptical because my tremor is so bad but this short & fat weighted pen really, really works for me. I still have to hold my right hand down w/my left, and write slow and intentional, but it's perfectly legible every time I use it. I use a computer keyboard as often as possible but for those times I have to actually write (greeting cards, the occasional check, etc.) this pen is a HUGE help. I only wish they made it in a pencil format also (I do lots of numbers and also try to draw). Highly recommend - and so affordable!
