Thank you a million-trillion times
for Alpha-Stim!!! I have carpel tunnel, and fibromyalgia (with the
accompanying insomnia and lack of energy). I received my unit last July, and
went from despondent and weary from the chronic pain, to nearly pain-free,
and elated at the change, in less than a week. From dragging my sorry behind
up the flight of stairs to my apartment, to DASHING up the stairs without
being winded! The pain from the fibromyalgia was deeply stabbing pain that
would strike without warning, sometimes bringing me to tears in the middle
of a trip to the grocery store. For months, I couldn’t push a shopping cart
because of the pain in my arms. Now, I rarely get such severe pain, the
current level of pain averages about 2-3 over the course of a day instead of
7-9 (on a 10 point scale), and can be characterized as dull or irritating
instead of debilitating. My energy level is vastly increased. I was
unemployed for several years because of my pain, loss of fine motor skills
and lack of energy (requiring daily naps). I now sleep deeper than before
Alpha-Stim, and rise fewer times per night. This results in better energy
during the day and the need for only the occasional nap, and I seem to need
only about 6-8 hours of sleep instead of 10-12. My sense of self-worth has
improved, because I have less trouble keeping up the household duties. And
the depression I was experiencing more and more as the chronic pain
progressed is all but eliminate. I live in a “challenging” neighborhood
(lots of drug and prostitute activity on the streets-sirens
frequently-accidents at the busy corner ½ block away) and the stress can
really get to a person. I feel much more able to cope with this often
hostile environment, and more patient in traffic, too. I had begun to use
alcohol for the pain and had even combined it with codeine to achieve even
some relief on the really bad days. I almost never use pharmaceuticals any
more, and my desire for alcohol has faded to the “occasional beer with
pizza” level.
