Alpha-Stim
Celebrating 27 years

US Government Federal Supply Schedule Date: December 14, 2005 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 5 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 benfit during treatment, but was very surprised indeed when I fell alseep 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.
