Happy Memorial day y'all!
I just put my T.E.N.S. unit on, thanks to you Shaunn for the idea, and halleluja I can feel it! It is only a slight stinging kinda probe so I thought the batteries might be dead. My son Jacob (who gets a real kick...literally from the 10's) put the patches in the same place and could not control the pulsing. It's funny to watch him try and take it all the way up the dial. He laughs and that makes me laugh. What a hoot. I don't know where to go with this new sensation now? I almost feel healed...yea right. I have stopped the amitriptaline w/o withdrawals...so far I think? What's it been a day? I am going to try to stop most if not all my meds. They aren't vitamins and I doubt they are magic pills that will aid in the regrowth of my nerves and muscles so what the hey?

You forget how the TENS Unit does help with the pain. I had not been using mine. Then got it out and hooked myself up. Glad I did! I hope it continues to help you.

Do be careful going off your meds. Take it one at a time AND with your doctors help. Many of the meds we take, you have to lesson the dose a little at a time. Stopping cold turkey can be dangerous.
