So ... since suffering an episode of DRESS Syndrome, and being told "no more pills !!!" ... perhaps not surprisingly ... I haven't had a lot of luck managing symptoms.

I'd like to say I'm "suffering in silence," but neither my estranged wife (with whom I've been staying) nor the dog would back me up on that.

Today, I saw a "functional medicine" doctor who recommended that I look into Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation:

"Huh," thought I. "Interesting."

Anybody have any experience with it ? Any thoughts about it ??

It's expensive stuff (maybe prohibitively so), particularly if I can't get insurance to pop for it, but .... if it works ....

I mean ... treating pain, anxiety, insomnia, AND depression ?? In theory ... if it worked ... I could be within spitting distance of normal again ;-)

LeoX3: While I'm sure it wouldn't mix well with epilepsy ... I wonder what your admirable, med-nerd mind thinks of the notion ;-)

Cheers, all !!
