The EMG type stimulation of the muscles would see to be a problem if done very much as it causes the muscles to contract and with MG they likely would tire rapidly. I found a research study that in one patient the E-Stim caused an exxacerbation of MG

Thank you Russ and Andtre for the information. It was a help. Andtre do you use a Tens machine yourself? If so for your legs?

hello
i haved use and use the tens machines since i got mg, 13 yrs i use it for my buttocks, legs and ankles when certains of my movement force md cause ne to cramp alots of pain
i use it in uadrats for about 10 minutes ech, wait 30minutes and use 2 uadrant then uadrant 3

lower legs uadrant1
upper legs uadrant 2
buttucks uadrant 3

also you cannot force the issue, all usages have to be in moderations, as you will eventually cause problems not needed
unfortunately we mgs, have a deciving desease which force us to use precautions to avoid united issues, i usse a hand held tens machine

Thank you Andre, that is very helpful. I am glad the machine works well for you.
I plan to start using my machine this week. My PT will be here and is going to show me placement for the electrodes for different treatments. I am excited to get started. My machine is portable also. I appreciate your help and encouragement very much.

Andre, what brand of TENS machine do you have? Mine is portable also. It is about the size of my iPhone only little bigger and thicker. But I don't think it is strong enough. It is stronger plugged-in instead of working on batteries.
Our PT place just opened again for out patient E-stem treatments since we have lesser requirements on COVID now. I am going to start treatments on my legs. I was telling him about my machine and he told me to bring it in and he would look at it to see if maybe he could adjust it differently that would be stronger. It will be great if I can get treatments and be able to do them at home on a consistent basis when I need to. Thanks, Martha

hi Marta

thanks for your question, i have puechassed mine 11yrs ago, the sie is about 2 " thick, 4inches wide and to 7 " tall, it came provide to use plug to electric currant or the use with batteries(9 volts at the time i paid about 85 $$ for it, today you can purchasse them from about $25 and up
the brans was intensity if combo

i have used with the battery supplied and with the wall connection, dint find any discrepency in power usage, aldo i tend to beleive as you plug maybe better, as you will not have deficiency in the power as the battery wears down

but as i mentioned before it is wonderfull for cramps and pain, as for us the legs are the most important parts that need extra push

let me know how you do with it
best of luck

Andre
