I have suffered from Fibromyalgia since 2008.
Over the course of 11 years and many different pain management specialists and rheumatologist my body and brain became an experiment with the many drugs they use to treat chronic pain and Fibromyalgia and after 10 years of pretty major side effects… I lost my personality and my career.
Last fall a new family physician suggested I stop the medication I was taking and I went off the drugs all together only to find myself in very severe painful situation needing strong pain medicine. I could barely move- everything was locked up. It really freaked me out! Even with narcotics the pain was still pretty strong.
And I was DESPERATE to find a solution that was not related to taking more prescription medications, which is all that traditional medical doctors can offer. And unfortunately even 3 months of Accupuncture didn’t give me relief.
I started looking for other non drug alternatives for pain…and I found PEMF and decided to try a session at a local business. I ended up having sessions at 3 different local businesses.
The second shop put goggles on me with lights and sound along with laying on the pad. After that 20 minute treatment, I felt really good…like I did before I got sick almost 20 years ago (which lasted for a couple of hours). It was amazing. It was like a miracle.
Unfortunately the mat and goggles I used, called Omnium 1, cost around $5000. (which isn’t affordable for most people).
The 3rd business I went to had the Bemer Mat and I found I could only use the lowest setting without increasing pain and making it worse. That mat was also $5000 and out of my range. I knew that PEMF was helping me so I started searching on line for something affordable, and found your website.
After reading and reading about your product and speaking with your representative on the phone, I ordered the M-1 the first week of June (2019).
I wear the M-1 pretty much all day. I purchased 2 extra batteries that came with a charger so I always have 2 batteries with me (one in the device and one extra) and I carry them in a money belt around my waist and from there can reach my low back, upper back, and even my knee with the longer coils.
Initially I found the 10-12 setting on Omni 8 is too strong and I started out with 7. I have increased this now to the 12 setting.
So far the Beta-2 at setting 5 on my head or neck has worked to help me feel better overall and I use the Omni 8 on my low back and mid back spine.
I had a double fusion on my low back lumbar spine in 2015 - and that was my “original injury” from an auto accident. I also have arthritis in my upper back as well. My Ortho Dr has told me I need a knee replacement on the left knee- which of course I don’t want- so I am using the M-1 on my knee too and it does ease the pain pretty miraculously.
I wear the device pretty much all day and have experimented putting it under the mattress pad with the Delta setting to try and help me sleep. And I am sleeping better!
I have used the M-1 for sinus headaches and jaw pain in addition to the above.
The most amazing thing was within 2 DAYS of getting the device I was able to start doing 15-20 minutes of aerobic dancing exercise each morning. Which was like a miracle! It was like a light switch was flipped on in my brain.
I had become hyper sensitive to movement and only days earlier 3 minutes of stretching would cause severe pain for several days! The added activity has really helped lower my pain level too.
I also suffer from Costochondritis -(inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone) It’s sometimes severe. Using the M-1 has made a huge difference for me in this area and the pain is almost non-existent while I am wearing the M-1. Amazing!
Although I still have pain now, I can tolerate it and I am functioning much better. My hope is, that in time, the pain will go away altogether. I know you can’t give medical advice here, but I was wondering if anyone with Fibromyalgia has used the device and shared how they have used it and which settings they used?
I would rather experiment on myself with the M-1 than take drugs . And your product really does work for pain by reducing inflammation…I am wearing the M-1 everyday and sometimes at night too. I may need to purchase the Array coils or get a larger pad to lay on at some point to address all areas as I have pretty wide spread pain. But for now I will continue with the M-1, and the great results I am getting.
Also I was wondering if you have any trials going for people with Fibromyalgia where I might glean more knowledge.
We love your videos and learning more about the M-1 and how to use it and how it has worked for others. We love Grumpy Science- you guys are so funny - and we learn alot too! So I guess you could say we have become your fans
Thank you for making a device that I can afford, that has helped me to start feeling so much better, sometimes I forget that I have Fibromyalgia!!! It is a real blessing to be able to move again, and the exercise has so many added benefits too! -
I have also signed up for 6 months of the Brain Gauge and I was wondering about the Connectivity scores and what they mean??? I think my SCORE is between 0-2 and I don’t think I’m autistic But I am curious why my score is so low and doesn’t seem to move.
Also I’m particularly curious to see if I can duplicate the results I had using brain entrainment from the Omnium 1 device??? The M-1 since has so many different settings and I will experiment more with my M-1 to see if there is anyway to duplicate that :-). But if you have suggestions I’m happy to hear them!
Thanks again for your help.
