"Ten years ago, 'simply living' suddenly became the greatest challenge.

After 1 1/2 years recovering from obvious injuries (knee, tooth, head, back, neck etc) after a rollover auto accident, I learned I had Syringomyelia, a progressive 'untreatable' spinal cord injury as well.

Severe insomnia, gradual muscle paralysis, and extreme fatigue are now the obvious results which I continually 'work around' to maintain my best quality of life.

For five years I took a medication called Klonopin for my insomnia as without good sleep all my other symptoms were greatly enhanced. In my previous life I was a troubleshooter of electronics and I now use this skill to seek methods 'out there' which help me monitor myself and provide relief.

I purchased the Alpha-Stim SCS unit near the final and most severe stages of withdrawal (voluntary) from the sleep medication which I discovered was actually contributing to major respiratory difficulty—previously attributed to my condition. My breathing improved but the withdrawal process was grueling with increased insomnia and anxiety.

The first time I used the SCS CES unit by Alpha-Stim, I enjoyed the immediate and reduced anxiety benefit during treatment. Moreover, I was very surprised indeed when I fell asleep BEFORE taking my sleep medications that very night!

As my situation and condition is quite pronounced I use my SCS unit twice daily with continued success. The result is dramatic and reliable and I am on my first year of use.

In a world which seems to believe that pills (chemical) are the answer for everything I am quite certain that this is an unbalanced view. I applaud Alpha-Stim for providing another (safe) approach (the 'electro' part of us all) to health and well being."
