Hi buddymac48

Quite a few people were trying the Actipatch some months ago, because there was a free trial for it, and quite a few posts were written about it.

If you type Actipatch into the search engine at the top right of the screen you will see all the posts that were written about it at the time.

You will then be able to read what people thought of it. From what I can remember it didn't work for that many people, but that's not to say it wouldn't work for you.

As with all things Fibromyalgia related it is always a matter of trial and error.

Personally I haven't used or tried it, but hopefully you will be able to read up on it from those posts, and get an idea for yourself.

Wishing you less pain and more peace

I did try this, unfortunately I found it uncomfortable to wear, I cant put up with anything around my waist, my Daughter found it helpful but we all react differently, hope that helps xx

Hi

I've never heard of them, but as Lu advised you to click on previous posts on them, I'm going to too.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Hope you have a good afternoon 👍😊

Yes I tried it was fortunate when they first came out to have a two month free trial. I have a feeling there still might be a free 7 day trial worth going on their site to have a look. Unfortunately, it did nothing for me whatsoever so I never went ahead and bought one. Good luck if you decide to try it as BlueMermaid3 says everyone is different so what suits one doesn't suit another.x

Hi buddymac48

I tried them during the free trial and sadly, they did not help me at all. I would like to wish you all the best with them if you decide to give them a try.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Hi they don't appear to help many, back to the drawing board, thank you.

Hi, they help me with low back pain and on my shoulder which has impinged nerve. Sometimes I move it around the body. What a lot of people don't realise is that you have to wear initially for a long time. First time I think between 5-7 days except when near water. The 7 day trial is still on I think, you just pay for p&p. I think anything is worth a trial especially when it's a free trial and you only pay for p&p.
