Hi,

I think a Tens is very different; I tried it at the PT clinic and couldn't bear it, maybe it was just me or wasn't set properly, but I had to stop it immediately, horrid buzzing jolting sensations. Most of these things aren't too good for anyone with skin sensitivity problems, though I could be wrong, I think some RSDers get on OK with a Tens....

But I don't think this STS machine is at all the same thing...

Oops, forgot - I googled ["TENS unit" epilepsy] and it seems to to say use caution!!

And, speaking of circulation, I've been prescribed Hirudoid cream and have now been using it for 5 weeks. It's normally used to heal scar tissue by increasing circulation, and I think it's a help. I'm going to get them to give me a stronger version next time.

all the best!
