I have a pen addiction, freely admitted. I also have arthritis and carpal tunnel with an unsuccessful surgery to prove it.Needless to say no matter what I write with, how I hold the pen, whatever kind of pen it is or what I do, I always have pain. I always have cramping.I simply ordered these because I like the rubberized finish on pens. It makes them easier to hold, but I was not holding out for any kind of great results for anything. I expected nothing. Nothing ever helps me.except THESE!!!!!!Now granted, these are not a miracle cure for hand problems, BUT I did catch myself writing longer and with less hand fatigue than anything I have tried, and folks, Ive tried them all. Grippy, non-grippy, fat, contoured, heavy, skinnyEV-ERY-THING.I actually kind of surprised myself when I got to the bottom of a full sheet of paper, and my writing was legible, it all looked the same, and I had miraculously written an entire page with very little discomfort. That hasnt happened in a very, very long time.The ink is so unbelievably smooth. Almost no friction on paper at all. You would almost not believe the pen was touching the paper, unless you looked to make sure you were leaving a line behind.I purchased these in June and decided to wait until October to write this review in case the effects wore off. They didnt. As I type this, I have now added six more 5 count packages to my cart. Granted, thats a lot of money, but now that I found something that works, I have to make sure that I have a supply. It seems like companies change designs all the time. I cant afford to lose this.If you decide to buy these, I hope you have the most amazing results like I did. If you are in the same boat, as I am, you understand how terrible it is. Watching other people write constantly page after page, and me not being able to get through a few lines without shaking my hands. Well, thats not me anymore and I hope it works for you.
