Hi Monkeybus,

I use a Actipatch and this emits a electro magnetic field that increases blood flow around the nerves, it works for me!

All the best

Alright Steve?

Does the Actipatch do anything for your spasticity, or is it just for pain?

[StevenSims in reply to monkeybus]

It's mainly pain but it's does ease the spasms!

[monkeybus]

Yes, I looked into this a while back.

Actipatch uses PEMF. I'm going to build one,,,

Not rocket science. There is something in this. I'll give it a go.

Actipatch are only £20 and lasts 720 hours! Interested to here how you get on with the build?

All the best

I studied computer science.

Refuse to buy anything I can make cheaper/better. Perhaps not cheaper, but I will be able to control the frequency and see the effects, like with TENS.

Lot of healthy people are building these to stick on their heads for god knows what reason. But, back to us sick people.

Try these...
