Yes, I have one, too! Best of all, my insurance covered it.

What I really like is that I can strap it on under my clothing and wear it anywhere. I can't count how many social events my little invisible "accessory" has made more bearable.

Cheers

“TENS” is an acronym for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. This unit works two ways. One, it interrupts the pain signal going to the brain from the effected area. Two, it also increases endorphins (the body’s natural pain killer). According to Rugers.

Supposed to interrupt the pain signal.

Hey does anyone sleep with one? Not sleep with it on but turn it on in the midddle of the night for pain? I swear I am almost to the point of giving my left arm to get more than 5 hours of sleep a night.

has really good prices on NEW units, not used ones from EBAY type places.

I have http://www.lgmedsupply.com/tebade.html the belt unit that you dont need to beg someone to come put the electrodes on you. You simply wrap it around you, and turn it on!

medicare, medicaid, and tons of insurance companies will cover at least 80% of the cost of this item with a prescription.

I would be lost without mine. :cool:
