Hope: Starting Calmare scrambler therapy

I tried Scrambler therapy earlier this year in New Jersey. Dr. Cooney was very professional, but the therapy did not help me at all. I'm not saying that it won't help others. It's just a shame that so many of us have to put out the money just to find out whether it works of not. That includes the cost of the therapy, travel expenses, lodging, and food. For me it was over $2000. I realize that it's not possible for many to absorb that kind of expense. Perhaps insurance will approve this before too long.

@heisenberg34 - I'm sorry to read the therapy didn't help....I live in NYC so my cost was the price of a two way car service in addition to the price of the therapy. So far the therapy has helped but we will see over the long term. I also suffer from a rare headache called Hypnic Headaches....and for that problem my Neurologist has started me on the program of 31 Botox injections into my forehead, scalp and neck....!!! I have to do this every 3 months...The first round has been hit or miss....I'm hoping for improvement over time...

I tried Scrambler therapy a few years ago. Traveled from TN to South Carolina and spent a week in the hospital. Trip was quite expensive with $ 3000 for Scrambler sessions and then hotel, food, gas, etc... expenses as well. Discontinued the therapy after a week. The sessions seemed to mask my pain while I was on the machine. But my pain was back, before I could even walk to the car. I have had my pain for 24 years and it is severe enough that I was approved for 100 % disablity on the first try. Hope it works for you.
