Hi @Wayne - thanks for all the info! Your chiropractor sounds very similar to one I was seeing for several years in California. I recently moved to Texas (!) and don't have a replacement yet. Your Tone Pacer Pro sounds like a combination (perhaps?) of binaural beats and something called an...

...this on a daily basis. One thing I've done in the past that seems somewhat similar to this Tone Pacer PRO is a microcurrent device called Alpha-Stim. I paid about $600 for that unit, and found it to be very helpful. But this Tone Pacer PRO experience feels much deeper than my Alpha-Stim...

@Wayne thanks for this info yea I have found that listening to certain sounds and tones is helpful. I’m currently listening to brown noise and I’ll check out that app thanks! I am also a member of the vagus nerve stimulation group and I tried vagus nerve stimulation on the lowest setting for...

...for someone like me with an exceedingly sensitive system. It's very expensive at $3200, and all sales are final. At least devices like Alpha-Stim and Vielight allow an initial period where you can return a device and get most of your money back if it doesn't work for you. I do think it's...

For me, I think there are 2 things going on, though interrelated. I think my mitochondria have significant oxidative stress and resources they need get depleted. BCAAs support cardiac and skeletal muscle mitochondrial biogenesis, prevent oxidative damage, enhance physical endurance, and are...

...— microcurrent only. £40 TENScare Flexistim Multi Mode Electrotherapy Unit — does TENS, microcurrent, EMS and IFT. £140. You can also spend up to $1000 for an Alpha-Stim microcurrent machine, which does not really offer any benefits over a cheaper device. Looks to be a microcurrent device.

Hi Nina, I have been sick for many years and am believed to have CIRS caused by mold illness and possibly lyme disease. Whilst I am not sure what you deal with, a lot of functional medicine doctors I have spoken to believe that CFS can actually be caused by mold, or that this is actually the...

I have to admit I am going through a pessamistic period, but it just doesn't sound to me like any of these treatments would be helpful aside from the electrolytes. Pushing salt and fluid helps with orthostatic issues, but you don't need to see a doc at great expense to drink salty water. My...

...the senses and the immune system, including mast cell activation. He addresses it with diet (very strict, keto-paleo), nervous system (alpha-stim CES devise or similar, breathing, EFT, etc), supplements that promote energy production and detox, hydrogen water, electrolyte solution ("People...

I don't know what's going on with your other symptoms, but these tips from members on PR might help when you decide to start weaning off Clonazepam similar: And this site lists supplements that might help with benzo withdrawal. Note that one of supplements is niacin, which should be avoided if...

...which keep them in a state of hypervigilance. If you don't have biofeedback/neurofeedback clinics in your area, it might help to listen to relaxation recordings. The Alpha-Stim is also supposed to help with OCD. You can use it at home. There's tons of info about the Alpha-Stim if you google it.

As helpful as supplements can be for anxiety, there are also brainwave entrainment devices you can use at home. I benefit from the Alpha-Stim and the Vielight 810. I've never used it, but am also interested in the Sota Bio Tuner. Far less expensive, but still effective, are recordings of...

Glad you got to a doctor, but that looks like very standard bloodwork that is almost meaningless for most of us with ME/CFS. Still, it rules out a lot of things. Your vitamin D could be higher and you should ask about this which is at the bottom of the range. Do you have an antitrypsin genetic...

curious how you started with doing the neurofeedback? did you see someone who treated you? I tired the LENS protocol with LENS since he lives in my town. I tried it 3 or 4 times and wasn't getting much out of it and I couldn't really afford it. Him and his wife are lovely people. I was also...

@Wayne, do you still use your Alpha-Stim? I was thinking of how it can help for anxiety and sleep. Baclofen is a good muscle relaxer that also helps with sleep. It works on Gaba-B, so is not habit-forming the way that prescriptions that work on Gaba-A are. I take Baclofen every night. A...

Thanks for the information, Wayne. I am very interested in the alpha-stim therapy but I dont know how I can get a device here in India. I will read more about it. I also read that you benefited from Earthing. I've tried earthing multiple times and its strange- the effects I get from it. The...

...to get on it to begin with. I've posted a fair amount on my experiences with this micro-current therapy. If you do[0]=58'] a search for alpha-stim under my username, you'll get a listing of all the posts where I mentioned it. It will also take you to a number of other informative...

...half hour or more. Often I go to sleep when taking this break. When I know it's going to be an especially difficult task, I will take my alpha-stim appliance (micro-current therapy) with me, that helps a lot to recover while I'm resting in my van. [0]=58']I've posted fairly extensively...

..."hangovers" were getting worse with time. It took me over a year to wean off completely, and what helped a lot was using a product called alpha-stim, which helps calm the system down. Another unconventional thing that helps me these days is having a prescription for Tylenol 4. I believe it...

I've had two sleep studies. The first around the time I developed FM about 9-10 years ago and the second a few weeks ago. Not a pleasant experience but informative. The first showed I have narcolepsy and since that time I've been taking Xyrem. It's worked quite well over the years and I no...

@flitza - dang! sorry to hear that about the alpha stim ... someone else told me that it had helped them. I presume you recovered from the harm you felt it did to you, I hope? I've tried ldn at least twice and possibly 3 times, can't remember. But each time it made me quite spacey and tired...

This is purely anecdotal, but with reference to your thoughts about an alpha-stim. I bought one many years ago and used it as instructed, religiously. I stopped after a while for reasons I no longer remember. What I do remember is that at the end I was convinced it had harmed me and threw it...

Sadly, not nearly as well as when I first tried them ..... I then went to high dose vitamin C which helped, for awhile, but also made me acidic and thus achy and tired, though I slept better. And then I tried sodium ascorbate and did not get acidic, but didn't sleep well either ..... The night...

I've never tolerated direct acetylcholine supplements like alpha GPC, or even ALCAR or alpha lipoic acid. This has been very puzzling, as these are widely recommended supplements. But I've been having some interesting results this past month with galantamine experimentation. Galantamine is not a...

I think PDH block by PDK1 is a symptom of the greater dysregulation, the paper even says that. Many inflammatory, hypoxia, ROS triggered pathways lead to PDK1 increase as part of a Warburg effect induction. PDK1 is up regulated, aconitase inhibited, LDH upregulated, fatty acid synthesis &...

...£25 for the very basic Painmaster device, to £45 for the MT-330 MENS Microcurrent Machine, to around £550 and more for the expensive Alpha-Stim device. Though I guess earthing during sleep is going to be more convenient, as you don't have to worry about applying the microcurrent therapy...

@Horizon, these are expensive devices. I pasted in this info from the FAQ page: http://www.alpha-stim.com/alpha-stim-technology/faqs/ How much will my Alpha-Stim cost, and will my health insurance pay for it? A: The Alpha-Stim AID costs $795; and the Alpha-Stim M device is $1,195. Many plans...

Do you know how much these things cost? Alpha stim? Fisher Wallace?

I have used the Alpha Stim before, seemed to help me through a very rough patch. GG
