An ad I just saw on TV for Quell

Has anyone used one of these?  If so I would love to know if it helped?  There are reviews of it on the Quell website from people with all kinds of physical problems, some with fibro... I just wanted to know if any of you have tried it?  Thanks

I haven't personally, but I seem to recall vaguely some members trying, with varying results.

But bumping this thread up a bit again so others might see it. :)

I have used it, and I returned it promptly. Its like the TENS unit, if you've heard of t hem. I do not find them relaxing, I find that it aggrevates my nerve pain and makes it worse, but I have read a lot of people like it. It's always worth trying, and then returning if you need to. Good luck!

So no positive results for Quell? I, too, was thinking of trying one. We pain people will try anything.

Does anyone on here take pain meds? I know they are very taboo these days, but I thank the good Lord I have been blessed with a Doc who will prescribe, or I would not still be working, I know that.

Yes, I have a Quell unit. I got mine when they were first released. I find it extremely helpful. I had a full knee replacement on Friday. I'm using it right now to help control my pain levels from the surgery. It works for all types of chronic pain except migraines. The intensity of the pulse it emits can be adjusted. And, there is a 60 day money back guarantee. I am extremely happy with this device.
Take care.

My partner who has fibromyalgia and lupus uses a infra red light . She has used it for about a week and she finds that it helps her. I have not tried it probably because I get so tired of nothing working I just don't try any more. Maybe I'll give it a shot but she says it works. It looks like a wand with a red light. Whatever works

    So there's a Bigfoot festival going on soon and Hubby is soooo enthused.I've spent so much of my life outdoors. I'm 99% sure their whoops and thumps and such are probably people up to no good tryihng to scare other folisk outta the woods without getting in trouble.Why do I say that?There's moonshiners in my DNA. And people who've lived in the forests since before white folks. If something was out...
