November 29, 1995 I have been using the Alpha-Stim 100 for the past year with excellent results. I have been very happy with your product. As you know, I have severe fibromyalgia, a chronic pain disorder that affects most of my body, and also negatively affects my ability to sleep. I also have problems from TMJ which affects my ability to chew my food and contributes to my migraine headaches. The Alpha-Stim unit has been helpful because it is a non-invasive, non-addictive way to decrease my pain. Since I have begun using the unit I have been able to decrease my use of narcotic pain medication from needing to use it on a regular basis just to be able to eat my food, as my jaw spasms and causes me terrible pain to only having to take the medication on an occasional basis (once or twice a month). It has also helped to decrease my pain in my entire body. By using the cranial electrodes on a regular basis I have been able to increase my sleep from 2-4 hours per night to 4-7 hours per night. And I have been able to decrease my use of sleeping medication! And I really like that there are no side effects to the treatment, unlike taking sleeping pills. Since my level of pain has decreased and the quantity and quality of my sleep has increased, my level of activity, while still limited, is greater than before. I am able to complete tasks like doing laundry, cleaning my apartment, and cooking meals which I wasn't able to do before because of my level of pain and fatigue. My need to see the doctor as frequently has decreased, my level of nutrition has increased since I can now actually eat entire meals, and my progress in physical therapy has increased several fold, which is great since I only receive 12 per year from DSHS. Because of all this, I am much less depressed. It's nice to have some sense of control over my life again. While I am still disabled, at least life is now much more tolerable and I now look forward to waking up in the morning. Thank you again for your support in my healing process. Sincerely, |
