Growing together, our users' stories

Our community is full of people figuring their symptoms out day-by-day. Here are some of their stories.  

Speech

Stammer relief, Carl’s story.  

Brought on by Young-Onset Parkinson’s Disease, Carl experiences  slurring and a strong stammer.   

“Parkinson’s took my speech from me... and when I put the device on  my voice comes back... and when I turn it off, my symptoms come  back.”  

    

Mobility

Free movement is something most people take for granted, yet millions of people experience difficulty carrying out everyday tasks due to the loss of mobility and control of their limbs.  BeechBand users with a range of conditions have shared experiences of feeling more comfortable during movement.

Anxiety

Today, more than ever, anxiety is one of the most common symptoms making people’s lives shrink around them. Feelings of anxiety can be experienced at any age and can come from a range of different causes.

Anxiety relief, Tina’s Story

For 17 years, Tina’s son has suffered from severe anxiety, with  near-constant negative thoughts, bad moods and even suicidal feelings.    

“Now he’s been wearing the band for a week... I have monitored him  closely and I truly do see a difference! His thoughts haven't gone  but are about 85% less and he’s happier in himself! When the band comes off even when he’s having a bath or going out he starts with worries and anxiety! THANK YOU BeechBand... so far it’s made such a difference 🙏”  

Internal vibrations

The sensation of vibrating inside the body, sometimes described as ‘buzzing’ and also known as internal tremor can be caused by a number of things, including viruses, neurological conditions like Parkinson’s and MS, as well as psychological trauma.

Decreased internal vibrations, Lindsey’s story.  

Four years after having Covid, Lindsey suffered internal vibrations, or buzzing.   

"I have struggled with internal vibrations. They are all day and all night. I was so fortunate to have ordered a band early and it arrived  a week ago. I can’t believe the relief I get!!! No vibrations. It’s such a  wonderful temporary relief. Thank you so much.” 

Visual stress

For people with dyslexia, difficulty reading isn’t about muddling letters. For many, they see words dancing and moving across the page or even coming towards them, making it impossible to focus and read more than a few sentences at a time.

Reading freely, Lee’s story. 

6 years ago, Lee was diagnosed with phonetic dyslexia. He usually can’t read more than two lines on a page.     

“Every time I try and read a book, I don’t get the words mixed up but I get the words coming at me like a bubble... [when wearing a  BeechBand] the page stopped, it went normal, that’s the only way I can describe it. It wasn’t coming towards me or anything, it was just level... I could concentrate reading as well, which is something I’ve never been able to do... It’s amazing.”    

Focus

Finding more focus, Wendy’s story.

Although in the early stages of his symptoms, Wendy’s husband is shuffling when walking, has frequent ‘spaced out’ loss of focus moments and regularly gets fatigued.  

“After 20 mins I could see a difference... When wearing the band [he]... felt less fatigued when walking, and literally watching tv no longer was ‘staring or spaced out’. Also is more involved in conversations. After wearing it for a couple of days and was more accustomed to it, he actually noticed the difference himself immediately when it ran out of power...”

“It’s made getting up in the morning easier... also my brother-in-law noticed when he [Dad] reached for his pint at the bar he was not shaking at all. These things maybe small but all so positive. Thank you so much ☺️ “

“I’m using the BeechBand app on my watch. I've had it now for 3 days. When I'm "off" I literally can't move and my pain is severe... I've had an exceptionally positive response ... Thank you.”
