...replaced too frequently. The Omron Tens Machine is a little different, since they have recognised the fact that the traditional machine did not please everyone, and one of the problems they tacked was to make the pads re-useable. WHAT IS A TENS MACHINE A Tens machine is a machine that stimulates nerve fibres through the skin. The machine is easy to use and two electrodes are placed, in my case at the bottom of the spine, and kind of massage the ...
...The tens machine is like a remote control unit with wires attached to it, that have electrodes at the end of them (two wires). SETTINGS There are variable settings for different effects, and the best way to use the machine is to set it to a pressure that you find works for you, although there are guidelines in the handbook that comes with the machine. I found the guidelines a little rough, and also that if I felt very little, then the product did ...

Review of Omron Tens Machine

You pay for the brand name

Advantages: Ibuprofen works
Disadvantages: you pay for the brand name

...However, why people buy Nurofen is beyond me- it is simply Ibuprofen and you can get the same thing for much less money if just go for a shop's 'own brand'. For example, Tesco sells 12 x Nurofen for over £2, or 16 Tesco brand Ibuprofen for 36p. (Same dosage) The only time I have ever bought Nurofen was when I was in pain and the only shop near me at the time only stocked the Nurofen brand. At all other times I buy the cheap 'own brand' version and ...

Review of Nurofen Tablets

A god send for sickle cell pain crisis.

Advantages: Really does the job.
Disadvantages: careful of dependency and side affects for some people

To review a pain killer has me a little bit stumped if I am to wax lyrical. But it has been such a wonder for my wife that I felt I had to say something about it. My wife suffers from the cronic form of Sycle Cell Anemia, this being the lesser degree of the ilness that can be fatal in the more serious terminal cases. Sickle Cell Anemia is caused by a change in the chemical composition of the protein hemoglobin that carries the oxygen inside of ...
...shape of the molecules in the blood cells to change and cause them to link together; this happens under certain condition such as lowered oxygen concentration, (no high altitudes and no mountain climbing) and changes in temperature, (no winter vacations, no snowball fights with our daughter and no snowman building). Once these molecules link they create a chain called a polymer. In turn, these abnormal elongated hemoglobin polymer structures distort ...

Review of Nurofen Plus

4head - doesn't cure, but does help

Advantages: Pain relief, convenience, ease of use, portability, minimal side effects
Disadvantages: Price, relief is partial and temporary

...I find that keeping a 4head stick with me at all times, and using it frequently in addition to the painkillers, provides a lot of relief by cooling down my forehead, in the same way that holding an ice-bag to my forehead would help. Of course you can only hold an ice-bag to your skin for 10 minutes before you start to get tissue damage, which is not something I risk with the 4head stick (other than the risk of contact dermatitis or sensitization, ...
...balm over my forehead. Does it solve everything? No. I can't ditch the painkillers and just rely on the 4head stick. But I also wouldn't like to try to manage with just the painkillers and have to do without the 4head stick. I don't leave home without it! ...
