I was also taking gen eric tylenol 3 and tramadol. We worked on less common drugs that I was taking. The pain clinic okayed all of it, plus my high-voltage galvanic stem unit for my feet as well as one that attaches to each ear. It may seem dumb but I didn't get a very strong result with the unit that has clips to my ears, so no earrings and since then I have also gotten a galvanic unit which works on my hand. I did get a lot of relief from the unit for mh feet. Please, forgive me. I shouldn't have tried to responded to day, For some reason I have been having " episodes " where I get a terrible chill with severe muscle spasms. I generally throw up but then go back to bed with the coldest drinks I can find. I managed to back to bed and dozed some. My fever gets to about 102 befire I can bring it back down. Now Ilve been able to eat some breakfast and I need to go back to bed. So, forgive my response and my spelling. Thanks to all who responded to my postl I've got to go when I can still type .
