Thumbs down Drug free pain treatment

I suffered really bad neuropathic pain in my feet, and it eventually got to my hands. My GP prescribed Lyrica, a drug for epilepsy, and it worked. But at a terrible cost financially and physically.
I became a Zombie, with memory loss, loss of balance, and slept all the time. It just didn't suit me so I searched the internet and found out about TENS.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation.
I tried out a unit from my local pharmacy before buying one, and I am totally satisfied with it.
I saw the article on the Italian "Calmare" and couldn't find out much about it, but it does sound like a Souped Up TENS unit.
You pay a lot less than $150 for a good TENS unit, and you can use it whenever you need to, it is battery operated. Amazon has a good range of them.
