Shop Unique Parkinson’s Gifts This Black Friday

By now, I am sure you know that today is Black Friday. The busiest shopping day of the year in the United States. Rather than innundate you with emails about special deals, I have just a few things that might interest you.

The Parkinson’s Plan

The #1 Parkinson’s book written by Michael Okun, MD and Ray Dorsey, MD. If you do not yet have this book, now is the time to order it.

In The Parkinson’s Plan, two doctors on the cutting edge of Parkinson’s research detail the steps necessary to prevent, slow, and treat this debilitating condition. They show readers how to prevent the disease through the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the lifestyles we live. They introduce the “Parkinson’s 25,” the most detailed checklist ever created to allow anyone to lower their risk of Parkinson’s. They interview the world’s top scientists, clinicians, and thought leaders in the Parkinson’s field to offer a detailed plan for treatment that includes cutting-edge methods and recent technological and medical advances. 

Vilim Ball

VILIM ball therapeutic device for hand tremor reduction, shown with app interface for hand stability exercises.

I have been trying this out for about 2 months now for my tremor and I think that is it working for me. Just 10 minutes, 3 times a day helps reduce my tremor. Some days I even forget that it is there.

SCIENTIFICALLY BACKED, DEVELOPED WITH EXPERTS AND RECOMMENDED BY IETF: More than just a vibrating ball, VILIM ball for essential tremor is grounded in neuroscience and developed with medical professionals. Mentioned by the International Essential Tremor Foundation, it’s recognized as a trusted tool among physical therapy equipment, occupational therapy tools, and Parkinson’s disease accessories.

You can order it from Amazon* by clicking on the image or order it directly from the company at  www.vilimed.com. Use code TW50 to get a discount from VilimMed.

Clinical Trials Corner

SEPTEMBER 2025

I’ve been hesitant to feature new clinical trials as a few that I had on my list to include in future columns have either been removed from the site or marked as withdrawn. Keeping my fingers crossed that the trials I feature continue to recruit and maintain their funding. Click here for the rest of the report from Jen


Thank You!

All Twitchy Women programs are free to all who participate. However, they are not without cost. It takes resources to continue our work and we cannot do it without your help. Through our partnership with the Parkinson’s Wellness Fund, those who want to provide support can do so. Thank you to all of you who have contributed. It is really appreciated.
