Re: CS>Tens Unit

[Bruce Anderson]

Bob;
I have a TENS unit. I love it.  It has two dials (rotary switches) to 
control function and wave form.  I choose settings that seem to cause 
the hurting muscles to"wear themselves out" and relax.  I also found a 
setting that masks pain, then I increase the amplitude controls (on top 
of the unit) upward until the pain is masked enough to sleep.  I wont be 
without one.

I have a Tens Unit, not sure it is the same as your wife's but it is fantastic 
for many things.  I get a lot of headaches and use it on my shoulders and it 
eases the pain.  I also have a roller that can be attached and used on the neck 
it tightens the neck muscles and by doing that helps to eliminate the excess 
wrinkles and skin.  I also use it on sore muscles.

Tens units are used for temporary muscular pain relief.

Paula,

A tens unit is simply a 555 timer set to run at about 10 hertz with a square
wave of about 7 volts +/-. It would make CS but it would require a relative
long time.

I built one but have never used it for glaucoma.

I think you may have problems obtaining the correct polarity/frequency.

A zapper/blood electrification device can be run two ways, and I am not sure
a tens unit can do it.

30 Khz unipolar or
100 hz bipolar

Also the wave should be square with as sharp of a rise time and fall time as
possible.
