"I have been suffering for many years with fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis, both of which have caused chronic fatigue and a lot of pain.

As a result of this I was unable to function normally and was given several different medications with bad side effects. The last medication, Lexapro, which I started taking in June of this year at a low dosage increasing to a normal dosage gave me a headache that caused me incredible pain. Much worse than any migraine I had ever suffered.

The pain was on top of my head and I could actually put my finger on the spot as if I had been struck with a sharp instrument. Eventually the headache turned to shooting pains and became unbearable.

The Arthritis & Osteoporosis Clinic - Brazos gave me cortisone injections in my shoulders which relieved the pain somewhat, but three weeks later theyhad an Alpha-Stim 100 microcurrent stimulator sent to me in the mail. I then stopped taking the Lexapro and started treatment with the Alpha-Stim.

After about two weeks, I found I had an improvement in my pain level and my energy level. After six weeks from the time I stopped the Lexapro the headache is almost gone and I am feeling so much better.

I believe I will not need to take any more antidepressants or pain pills. With this Alpha-Stim I am confident I will be able to function normally once again without any side effects."
