I feel extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to experience the benefits of the Alpha-Stim firsthand. I suffer from often recurring acute pancreatitis (idiopathic), and was newly diagnosed with relapsing/remitting multiple sclerosis which has caused at intervals debilitating pain, with residual, but tolerable, chronic neck and leg pain.After rejecting many pain management doctors in the deep south where the stigma of pain and almost degrading treatment of patients is widespread, I was fortunate to have my neurologist send me to a surprisingly progressive physical therapist where I was first introduced to the Alpha-Stimulator. All I can say is that I was in instant heaven.I am a critical care registered nurse and, for obvious reasons, could not take all the medications that were recommended to me, unless I would have wished to be removed from caring for patients which is not a desirable option.For all those doctors who have never heard of this wonderful device, I wish I could get the word out to every one of them. I do not have the device at home, but I continue to see my therapist for treatment and have not needed to take the multitude of medications the pain doctors insisted I would need forever.I would like to see the Alpha-Stim introduced openly to all patients as an option to treatment that by law they have the right to know about, and since my insurance company doctor had absolutely no idea what this is, (when he promptly denied coverage of it), I would like to see it become an accepted treatment option and not just thought of as some mystical, alternative method of treating pain. I thank you for your much appreciated Godsend and cannot express enough how you have given my personal and professional life back.Susan Flores
