TES electrodes

[HAILEYS MOM]

Just want to know which type of electrodes you other moms with TES experience liked the best? Hailey has eczema and so something that won't hurt her skin would be best. Any advice you can give me would be appreciated. Thanks so much!

Axlegaard makes hypoallergenic electrodes. They are also the TES supplier. Francine has the supplier list on her site. You cannot do TES when the skin is broken however. Have you tried Elidel cream?

Sorry, but this is on the subject of TES, but not really the type of electrodes (I have asked before, but never got any responses.) We are new to the TES machine, 2 months, but we have a lot of trouble with our machine. It gives is codes every night, and it takes anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes just to get the machine to turn on. We have changed wires, leads, everything...do any of you have any trouble with your machines?

Brandi, sounds like you got a lemon have you tried to return it - ours works perfect except the electrodes tend to come off and get stuck to his shirt - any suggestions anyone for that?

Vanda - we tape ours on every night. Works well.

We wrap Coban (made by 3M) around Julia's electodes at night. It is a stretchy material that sticks to itself and not to her skin. It is about $4 a roll here at Wal-Mart and it comes in a tan color...if you have a 3M around you, it can be purchased directly from the plant store for $1.10 a roll and it comes in many colors. Someone else told me you can find it in stores that sell products for horses, trainers use it on the ankles of horses...it might be cheaper there.

Thanks for all the input on the machines!
