Does anyone recommend a portable, rechargable TENS unit for pain?

Here's what I think: there will always be small minded people in the world. They come and go like dust in the wind, insignificant to the grand scheme of life, and with their own lessons to learn, in their own time. Try to tune out their noise if you can, it is of little value to you or them. I appreciate knowing you both. Knowing the things that you both are facing in your lives puts other people's so called "problems" in much better perspective, including my own. Be as kind to yourselves as you can. 🌺🌺🌺

Jen, I am positive that absolutely none of us feel that you let us down! Try really hard to get rid of the stinkin' thinkin' and replace those thoughts with truth. That's what I do. Remember I told you that the Bible teaches that Satan is called the father of Lies, and the accuser and that he is seeking to devour and destroy? Well that is referring to the thought life because that's where it takes place, in the mind. I put myself down all the time but I'm now able to capture the thought before I complete it and replace it with biblical truth about myself in God's sight. The Bible says I am made in His Image and that He loves me, that I am forgiven and the list goes on. I think this will be our battle while we're here on earth. We just have to arm up to have victory over it. Recognize it for what it is. Pain does alter many parts of the brain, the emotion center especially. That's why I use the term, "I am fighting for my sanity" when my pain becomes intolerable. I think you need to look in the mirror and talk to yourself as you would a dear person that you love. Speak with kindness and love and encouragement and assure yourself that you are worthy and valid. It's so hard to do, to look at yourself and treat yourself as you would talk to this person that you love. But after doing it for some weeks it really works and you feel better about yourself and treat yourself much differently and think about yourself much differently. Well those are the tools that I use. Let me know if you have any questions or I can help any further. I will be upholding you in prayer dear friend. All of us are fallible. None of us perfectionists will ever be perfect so we can let go of that impossibility. RELINQUISH, it feels so good! God loves us as we are. In Christ's unfathomable love, Sunny 🤗♥️

@sunnyflower Beautiful sunny Also Jen Mind is the builder and power is in your thoughts so think positive and know you are worth all the effort you put into those thoughts God is the answer so make him your CEO of your mind Live your life as his servant to all here on earth We are God's ambasadores here tell your friend in the mirror that say it till you believe it Love friend

@sunnyflower Sunny. Thank you for the pep talk. Two days of really bad pain that I really did very little around the house. The pain makes me cry despite the ice and TENS. Happy hippo was a lifesaver today with my new sciatica shaped ice pack. I have to ration the real pain pills so I don’t run out or build a tolerance. I’m going to lie back down for the night. My husband took Murphy with him to visit the farm area he and his friends are building. Used to be for paintball now for gardening. We have an exhausted Doberman now who is getting his pain pills. Why is it ok to give our beloved pets whatever they need so they’re not in pain but not humans? You are so right, fighting for my sanity.

Awww Jen, I just hate to know you're suffering!! It breaks my heart!! 😥

@lorirenee1 Lori. For some reason I didn’t get your private message about my pain doc. Could you send again? Thanks much. Jen

You know, from now on, whenever I need some great inspiration, I am going to look no farther than this discussion about TENS Units! 😊

Hello Lioness - The one I have is from Massage Therapy Concepts model TE2017. It stimulates, then relaxes for about 4-5 seconds, then repeats, and is programed for 20 minutes, which you can increase by 10 minutes up to 60. It is gentle or you can increase the intensity. Some features it simulates is Acupuncture, Tapping, Cupping, Shiatsu, Deep Tissue Massage. It is portable, put the pads on, put the unit in your pocket and go for a walk. You can use it anytime. I do sometimes 3 or 4 times a day. I like it as it gives me relief of muscle tension.

@bustrbrwn22 Jen, please forgive yourself when you don't do the things you intended to do. You must!!!! I cannot tell you how many times my pain has totally ruled my day, and I did nothing but cry or listen to music to soothe myself. Forgive yourself. You must be kind to yourself. Lori Renee
