But if anyone has access and mean$, I wouldn't discourage trying it. For some people, any relief, for even an hour or two, can make a difference.

If I could meditate like I used to 18 yrs ago then id agree , but this has been one of the most frustrating things about my pn or whatever it is - in the sense I just cant relax at all unless i stay up ( as I do ) just to fatigue myself
so I can get to sleep.
The Tank was actually more an idea for someone who has chronic pressure sores and a disabling connective tissue problem ( not a good combo ) so they could hopefully take some pressure off their joints and perhaps some relief , but the more I looked into it, and saw things
like this the more i
started wondering if it might be possible to construct something like that myself to see if it could help.
Maybe it wouldnt given I usually dont get much relief in water ( apart from when the rebuilder worked briefly ) but Im getting a little tired of supplements that dont really dont do much unless my pain gets triggered by something ( so far only lidocaine )
It certainly would be nice to see something new but since 99 Ive seen no signs of it happening.
