This episode is about sex. You will hear the words: Erectile dysfunction, orgasm, libido, sex tools/toys and more. If this isn't for you, please don't watch. This episode is for people with PD who have asked the question about sex with PD. While Brian and I might look uncomfortable, I've just been really dyskinetic but also uncomfortable. But it was a GREAT interview!

"I'm a believer!" That was a statement we heard over and over from our friends at PDNextSteps about the Beech Band after they wore it, walked around, smiled, moved more freely and spoke a little clearer. Carl himself has said that this innovation - this simple band - was a gift from God to bring back his speech. As a Christian myself, I truly believe that. We were able to witness first-hand how the Beech Band made an impact on people's lives.

This is not a cure. It doesn't take take away your Parkinson's symptoms for good. It's just another tool in our toolbox that could potentially help people with Parkinson's manage their symptoms for a short time, specifically freezing of gait, speech issues, tension, and essential tremors. Some said, they felt, relaxed and more fluid with their movements.

The Beech Band just went into production January 2025 in the UK and are already sold out. They are working on producing more but they are also making it available as an app if you have a smart watch (android phones) and Apple watch (coming soon). Watch the video for more details.

Making the decision to have DBS surgery is not easy. But I didn't think it would be for the reason I discuss.
