It’s embarrassing. It’s totally embarrassing. You’re shaking. You can’t do anything.
You try to brush your teeth, that’s the funniest part, and water-picking is even
funnier than that because, you know, you hit the whole bathroom.

My name is Sylvia and I’m 73 years old and I’ve had essential tremors for over 30
years.

I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. I played on the Virginia Slims
professional tennis tour and then I moved to Las Vegas and I play a lot of golf and
swim and just have fun.

When did you first notice the

I really noticed it about five years ago. A safe deposit box, you know how you go in
and you got to sign each time, and I could see the difference in the signatures as the
years went on.

It’s annoying! It’s so annoying and someday in the beginning there were even tears.
I couldn’t believe it. You can’t button your shirt. You can’t put your jewelry on.

I told everybody I was going to quit playing because I couldn’t putt. You can’t do
anything. If affects your whole life.

I went to a doctor and they put me on this medication. Then they said, well, take
two a day. Then I got up to taking two four times a day and this is what was
recommended. The doctor says this is all we have. And I’m thinking if this is all you
have so I may as well shake. I’m shaking anyway so why should I take medication
that makes me feel like a zombie.

Those tremors will bring you down. They’ll bring you down. In my desperation I
decided to look into the deep brain stimulation, and I didn’t qualify for that one so
they just suggested the deep brain stimulation where they put the holes in your
head.

I just can’t do it. I’m scared to death.

The people working with Cala Trio have done quite a service for those of us who are
suffering from essential tremors

Cala Trio came along and I’m loving it. I can stimulate for 40 minutes. It allows me to
play golf, it always be to eat, it allows me to do things with one hand a lot of the
times rather than with two.

Cala Trio, as I’ve said, it’s not going to stop the tremors but it makes you do things
that you couldn’t do. Cala Trio makes life a lot better it’s a life changer.

Go tell your doctor about it. And tell him or her you would like to try it. Tell the
doctor what you want and ask for Cala Trio.

Now I don’t quit. It’s like you want to play let’s play. We got this.

My name is Greg. I have essential tremor. Recently I went to the doctor because I had cataract surgery. And it’s really a problem for me because I know one of the first things they’re going to ask me to do is fill out a form. And my hands shake so bad and you got to write small. I just – it takes me forever.

00:00:32

You know, sometimes you go out to eat and I have to use a spoon in some cases because I can’t keep scrambled eggs on my fork. I have to eat scrambled eggs with a spoon. And it’s embarrassing. Water color painting is of paramount importance to me. It would be impossible for me to paint if I didn’t use the Cala Trio. I have to hold one had with the other just to sketch something.

00:01:05

And then when I want to paint what it is I sketch it’s a two hand operation.

00:01:14

My doctor started me on a medication. And over the years he kept changing the medication and giving me stronger dosage. That went on for quite some time. And then over the years we ran out of the different available medication. He said that I should go and see what else is available. And that’s when Cala Health came in and talked about this device that they had that was called the Cala Trio.

00:01:45

It was the size of a – basically a wristwatch. It was comfortable to wear. And I was right away interested in wearing the device to see how it might help me.

00:02:04

I had great results right from the very first time. Uh, I just continued to get great results. Different people have different results. The benefits last me about maybe two hours. I can paint.
I can write. I can draw. I can take my grandkids out for breakfast. My grandkids before would laugh at me for trying to eat.

00:02:39

But today they don’t they don’t do that. They appreciate the fact that when I’m wearing the Cala Trio my hands don’t shake. So it’s clear to everybody that Cala Trio works. Even my grandkids know it.
