Posted this on your other thread too but the information you are looking for about where to purchase is on page 2 of this thread, post #20. At least that's the information I used. I know others have gotten their supplies in other places.

3) Do not apply electrodes to areas that have cuts, rashes etc.

4) During treatment you may be seated or recline, but do not walk around. It is best to rest during treatment.

5) Sponge electrodes should be wet enough to slightly drip. If not wet enough they can cause skin burns.

6) You can make your own saline solution. It is cheaper than buying it. Mix 1/4 teaspoon salt with 8 ozs. of salt water.

7) Electrodes must be wrapped snugly but not too tight or they can cause a flash of light across the retina or skin burns.

8) Set the milliamp dial after the electrodes are in place and then plug in the the electrodes and activate the device. Plugging the electrodes in too soon can cause a white flash across the retina (not dangerous, just annoying.)

9) Don't use phones of any kind during treatment-you will get a shock (not dangerous, just startling) Ditto for computers microwaves, etc.

10) Slight skin irritation may occur. Application of an aloe lotion helps.

11) Wait at least 8 hours between treatments.

12) After the first few days of my most recent round of tDCS I experienced headaches. (Research suggests that the sham group also reported headaches)

13) Treating later than 7:30 pm disturbs my sleep. Treating earlier enhances my sleep.

Hope this helps!
What are the settings you use on your Activa-dose II? I just purchased one, but do not know the settings to use.

Default HELP URGENTLY NEEDED - Ballerina's electrode placement protocols
Hi everybody,
Can anyone remind me what Ballerina's electrode placement protocols are?
I don't feel too good and it's a trawl through this mammoth thread.
She had luck with tinnitus, which is my area of need, using a pain protocol.
I would be terribly grateful for the help.
Also, anybody in touch with Ballerina, where's she posting now? If you speak
to her send her my best regards, thanks.

Wishing you all good health.

Nick

Hi,

I tried locating the info about tinnitus but the only post I saw off hand
ballerina mentioned, was page 1 of the TDCS thread, she said after one
week of treating twice a day the tinnintus had vanished. I do recall
another member had mentioned tinnitus as well but cannot recall who
that was. I could be wrong but perhaps CRP James. Have you tried
any of the protocols yet, if so which one.

I haven't heard from ballerina I hope she is alright.

Hi again Nick,

An additional response. You might go to Doc Fugedy's website
www.transcrainialbrainstimulation.com. Look under the condition
of tinnitus. He has some protocols listed there. Hope this helps

Default Sorry if I missed this
Didn't go thru entire thread so if info was posted, forgive me but my question is, I already own a TENS device (BNS 40) that my dentist prescribed for TMJ. Can this be used as A tDCS device simply by placing the electrodes on my head as opposed to my jaw?

Hi,

That would be a no, but a tens unit can be used in conjunction with
a tdcs unit. Best wishes.

I haven't been allowed many treatment options so I haven't tried TDCS but I use my tens unit often.. though not directly on RSD area I do find that if I use it on surrounding area the spasms stop for brief periods. also I use it on my back and neck to treat for rediculopathy... it helps that with in turn is another minor relief. but like you all know minor relief is the difference of staying in bed forever or lightly living your life.
