I’d be super interested in hearing about anyone’s go-to products for getting these wild migraines under control when they decide to strike. I was recently introduced to these cooling patches that adhere to your forehead and while it was a bit relieving, I found that they warmed up way too quickly. I’m not sure which brand I had tried– just…Read More

@eclecticzebra I hadn’t actually considered making one– do you happen to know about the water/alcohol ratio? I figured alcohol would make things burn-y but I am intrigued because this sounds cheaper!

I *think* it was 2:1 water: alcohol I had to mold them a bit (she had screws placed in her hips-needed it more solid) so I had to make it thick- the more alcohol, the more pliable it will be. It’s not an exact science and easy to adjust if you need it less pliable. You can use booze too but gah! what a waste LOL Food coloring and glitter makes…Read More

I am here to tell you that for 41 years I have been fighting chronic pain. 40 years of bs ,I have come to understand that it was my insurance that got me 360+ doctors 😐 I am here to tell you that I Medicare doesn’t pay as well as pricing is dubiously cheap.

FANTASTIC article! I love aromatherapy– as a longtime migraine-sufferer, I learned the value in this early on.

No I haven’t but I am very interested in getting one. I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I also have herniated disk, having back surgery in January. I’ve been reading up about the TENS unit and the benefits that chiropractors have had with thier patients who have fibromyalgia or back problems.

So sorry to hear about the fibromyalgia diagnosis, this might help with that. At least you could add it to your Christmas list.

Every TENS I.ever was prescribed was programed for me.

Hey Lily ! Thanks for sharing the article or product. No I haven’t used the Ten machine. I haven’t really seen or heard of it . For pain I used regular ice pak or blue ice that has been working out for me. Looks interesting to try

Def. for muscle pain, not nerve pain-with Fibro, it vibrates me into a flare. Not for me at all. Give it a shot if you have muscle pain, helped me at PT a bit before the Fibro took over! There was a blue and red light machine I will try to recall what it was-THAT helped me so much more than the TENS.

Found this site that explains it- for me, the blue light hurt at first but they turned it down as low as it would go, then was a good thing… They are crazy pricey but if you can get PT from a “sports medicine” office they are more likely to use and have one. They wrap it with a hot towel to release muscle tension- worked wonders at the time.…Read More

Have you tried making one? (alcohol+water) Had to make huge ones after my Little had surgery years ago -they lasted a few hours, which to me seemed like a long time. I had wrapped them in those cooling towels that you snap to start them cooling again. The more water the harder it freezes, alcohol keeps it slushy (doesn’t freeze) Maybe you could…Read More
