THANK YOU....I used one in the Hospital in 1978 or 79....I wonder if they

have changed them since then? They were rather new then. Perhaps i will try

using one again.

Hello to all,

I too have a tens unit and it has provided some help over the years. The

problem that I have with it is, I forget to use it! It was only recently that

I remembered that I had the darn thing. Talk about memory loss!

I just received more pads from my PT and am using it again. It does provide

some relief. I now try it before I decide to take more meds.

It does take some playing around with the placement of the pads. I think that

once sent us a chart of where to place the electrodes.

On another note....I have been unable to keep up with my mail because of a set

back with my illness and also a great deal of work related things.

I'm afraid I missed a lot of the dialogue of late but I'm back at the keyboard

more often now so I hope to keep up with all of you.

Welcome to any of you who have recently signed on with us.

Kay,

LOTS of changes. much mor function, variety & choice. For instance

mine has 2 channels, easy & durable pads, can be set to different pulse

rates and wave patterns, a very large number of combinations, so I can find

settings that are most effective for me at any time. This also prevents

losing effectiveness because there are so many patterns, if you vary them a

little, the body doesn't get too used to them (tolerance).

Hope you can look into it & find it helps. When I am bad, it is the

only way I can get any sleep.
