I think I remember reading somewhere that you could make your own tCDS unit. Is this true? I feel like someone posted instructions on how to do this on a thread I read in the past. I think it was this one, but of course I have the RSD brain fog so I can't remember. Maybe it was a whole different therapy and you can't build your own?!
Anyway, if anyone can point me in the direction of where in the thead there are instructions (or links to them), that'd be immensely helpful. I started reading through all the posts, but with 48 pages of them... well, thought I might ask for a bit of direction from y'all
I'm curious to try tCDS because I've had amazing luck with Frequency Specific Microcurrent. After my first session I was able to be on my feet for 6 hours at a party without pain -- unheard of, because I can't even stand long enough to brush my teeth without pain usually. It gives me amazing relief, but sessions are $165 and not covered by my insurance (there are providers who charge less, but not in my area).

I think someone posted something about making their own unit...but there were never any real details about how this was done.
What is more common is what I and several others on the tDCS thread did which was get an iontophoresis unit (not sure I spelled that right) and you purchase TENS wires separately along with sponge electrodes and TADA...you have your unit for tDCS. I was able to get the unit and parts for about $300 total and have been using it ever since at home. My doctor wrote a script for the unit itself and I was able to purchase it online. I think all the info for the parts is within the first 4 pages of the tDCS thread if you are looking for the specific websites that were used.
