Alpha-Stim® Patient
Testimonials
 Thank
you a million-trillion times for Alpha-Stim!!! I have carpel tunnel, and
fibromyalgia (with the accompanying insomnia and lack of energy). I received
my unit last July, and went from despondent and weary from the chronic pain,
to nearly pain-free, and elated at the change, in less than a week. From
dragging my sorry behind up the flight of stairs to my apartment, to DASHING
up the stairs without being winded! The pain from the fibromyalgia was
deeply stabbing pain that would strike without warning, sometimes bringing
me to tears in the middle of a trip to the grocery store. For months, I
couldn’t push a shopping cart because of the pain in my arms. Now, I rarely
get such severe pain, the current level of pain averages about 2-3 over the
course of a day instead of 7-9 (on a 10 point scale), and can be
characterized as dull or irritating instead of debilitating. My energy level
is vastly increased. I was unemployed for several years because of my pain,
loss of fine motor skills and lack of energy (requiring daily naps). I now
sleep deeper than before Alpha-Stim, and rise fewer times per night. This
results in better energy during the day and the need for only the occasional
nap, and I seem to need only about 6-8 hours of sleep instead of 10-12. My
sense of self-worth has improved, because I have less trouble keeping up the
household duties. And the depression I was experiencing more and more as the
chronic pain progressed is all but eliminate. I live in a “challenging”
neighborhood (lots of drug and prostitute activity on the streets-sirens
frequently-accidents at the busy corner ½ block away) and the stress can
really get to a person. I feel much more able to cope with this often
hostile environment, and more patient in traffic, too. I had begun to use
alcohol for the pain and had even combined it with codeine to achieve even
some relief on the really bad days. I almost never use pharmaceuticals any
more, and my desire for alcohol has faded to the “occasional beer with
pizza” level.
Thanks again, from my toes to my nose, you have improved the quality of my
life. And probably the span, too, since now I truly want to live it!!!
