Hi!

Any recommendations on a specific brand of pen that may be useful for someone

who writes a lot?

Hi ,

 

I like the Uniball Rollerball Grip pen.  It comes in different colors and

different tip sizes. 

 

Examples:

If you have a pen you like to write with already, but just need added stability

or support, you may want to try a pen gripper or writing aid with your existing

pen.

I use a Paper Mate Profile - World's Smoothest Pen. It is 1.4mm bold, extra

smooth with ink gel.

It works for me and my fingers are so sensitive to pain. This is the easiest on

my fingers today.

I was using a table pc with a cross stylus, but they don't offer that anymore.

The motion stylus is good though. There was no drag, it made writing much

easier. Other than that I use the clear pentel stick pens with the foam grip,

the fatter the better. I also use those pencil grip triangles on regular stick

pens. I don't write very much now that I'm done with school.

Hi ,

I look for a nice thick bodied pen that doesn't taper too much toward the tip

and is smooth writing. I like the PhD pens and mechanical pencils from

Papermate and the Pilot Dr. Grip pens/pencils. They are both somewhat expensive

($10 or so) but they are refillable. I know the Dr. Grips come in both

ballpoint and rollerball. Anything thinner is too thin for me. My work bought

some for me, and I have others at home and in my purse that I bought myself.

They also got me a packet of gel-like Grips from Papermate which slide on to the

thinner pens and pencils and make it a lot easier to use them. I still can't

write for a long time, but these items help.

My problem with pens is exerting enough pressure to write clearly. I love

the newish Sharpie pens. They have a fine felt tip and write very smoothly

with no bleed-through, and they seem to last a very long time.

I like the Sharpies as well. The one I like most is the Sharpie

Calligraphic pen , 2.5mm, medium pont. I used to do calligraphy before my

hands began to become numb. Although my writing is pretty shakey now that

pen helps smooth my lettering.

I to like huge pens. One was given to me as a gift and I would like to get more.

Problem is that I have shopping and cannot locate :( I have gone to WalMart,

Office Max, and Staples. Any clues or website suggestions?

Rashid and others:

All the Staples in my area carry the Pilot " Dr. Grip " gel pen and pencil; they

are sold separately. I admit, they might be difficult to locate because they

are just one of dozens of pens/pencils hanging on the rack.

I'm sure that the other office supply stores carry them as well. However, I

prefer that you buy at Staples because I own some stock in Staples ;).

Hiya!

I think I know what kind of pen you're requesting.  They are promo pens put out

by just about every drug salesman out there.  They are usually left with the

employees at a doctor's office.  My sister works as a transplant coordinator

for a pediatric practive and brings me those pens every so often.  They are

very large in girth and just a tad longer than a regular pen but use the same

replacable refill cartrigdes in any color you desire.  Check with one or more

of your doctor's offices and ask the staff that deals with these salesman. 

And, don't give up on you doc's office.  Try others in the Yellow Pages.  Ya

never know.

I know it's been a very long time since I've posted - nearly three years to be

close to exact.  I've been giving my older brother terminal cancer care at home

(being one of the first paramedics in the U.S. out of Portland, Oregon in the

late sixties so the his docs picked me to take care of him  and I'm thankful

they did - he passed pain fear and peacefully recently at home which was his

wish.  I just glad I was there to hold his hand when he passed)

I'll be giving everyone snippets of updates about my CMT/HNPP status soon.  I

think you'll find it quite interesting.
