HI Everyone.

Thank you for your comments.

When these things are new, I absolutely agree that it's almost being a guinnea pig.

What I know about this unit is:

1. There are 8 electrodes that are put on your body. I also asked the question if it was going to be put on the area where my RSD is. The gentleman said no, it could be put in other areas.

2. The shock is such of a 9 volt battery - I'm told.

3. The man that was mentioned from Texas also had RSD. So, he developed this treatment for himself, initially.

4. If a patient has many medical issues, this may be too much of a risk. I, personally, don't have any other issues, or metal in my body. Thank you for mentioning your experience. That's how we can learn more and possibly prevent additional pain in others.

5. I know that it's not widely used. I was told that clinics, doctors, etc make more money on the nerve blocks, surgeries, etc. (Not sure if that's accurate)

6. The ideal treatment is 1 hour twice a day.

I'll let you know what I find out - I haven't made an appt yet. It does sound encouraging if nothing else has helped.

Positive thoughts for a pain free day!
