Went to local shoe specialists b/c of pain in foot. They recommended this product to make foot comfortable.  I bought this hoping to help. i have pain every time I use it. Even with socks on this feels like my foot is on fire. If it didn't come from Germany, I might send it back, but now I'm stuck with it. If you are buying to help pain, don't buy this.

I had a very bad stroke three years ago. I even had surgery. I loved this move. The only differance betweem me amd him was modern medicine. It brought back many memories. Very  accurate. Very inspirational. I still go to therapy and I still have a limited range of motion. I can now touch my ear with the effected hand/arm.  It made me realize how much I can do.

My Father had a stroke that affected his right side.  The handle made it so much more easily, for him to stand up and get out of the car.  Definitely worth the money.

It has really helped my wrist pain!  Having a corded one eliminated the need to occasionally charge it (like my other one). Didn't take long to get used to the feel of it. Still need to do my wrist exercises though.

These keyboards and this one in particular is so wonderful for people with achy hands after years of typing and or inputting data. They help to relieve the sharp pains that will shoot through your hands. It takes very little to adjust to the different typing style but once you do you will never go back.

My husband had a mild stroke and this product is a very useful tool for his therapy.
He uses it daily as part of his recovery.

It's better to be informed than to have this stuff come as a shock. It will explain everything, and help you to cope.

I bought this book a few weeks ago when my mother had a stroke.

All the things the author warned about happened (don't let them move your loved one from the hospital to the nursing home at night, make sure they have the records and permission for pain medications, etc.) I sat there all the first night in the nursing home with my mother - no pain medication, no records, and a fried chicken meal for a stroke patient who couldn't chew or swallow. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to look at the book until a few days after she was admitted; I could have avoided all this.

Now that I've read the rest, I feel better about her being there. There won't be any more surprises and I will know how to deal with issues as they come up. I am fortunate that my mother is recovering and will be home soon. Thanks to this book, I'll be better prepared if it happens again.

Perfect! My husband had a stroke which left him with only use of one hand. This light allows him to control lighting around him by himself. Light is a factor also, as it tends to hurt his eyes. The dimmer will help him in ways I can't. Would recommend this light to all, not just handicapped.

I bought the mouse because I was having shooting pains in my thumb from long hours using a keyboard an mouse.  The ergonomic mouse turned my wrist in a more natural direction and has helped ease the pain in my thumb.

I bought this to help with my weak hand due to nerve damage.  This helped strengthen my hand after the injury.

This book (and web program) were recommended to me after I read one of Dr. Sarno's books.  For years I experienced headaches / neck pain  after playing basketball, softball, bicycling, running...  It was so bad that I would basically be bed-ridden all weekend.  (I hate taking pain-killers, so I would generally tough it out.)  Finally, I stopped doing a lot of those activities.  I stopped playing basketball, softball, running.  But I just seemed to become more sensitive to movement of any kind.  I even got pain after doing yoga.  I got an MRI years ago, which did show some 'mild degeneration.'  Additionally, a natural health practitioner speculated the pain came from weak neck muscles (and the ensuing strain that resulted from jumping around).  I tried chiropractic, and had no luck.  Deep tissue massage, nope.  I tried trigger point therapy, which helped for a little while, but then stopped (placebo, anyone?).  And I tried physical therapy and neck strengthening exercises several times.  None of this helped.  At times, some of the stuff seemed to make it worse.

After I read Dr. Sarno's books, I became convinced this pain (and some other symptoms) were related to TMS (aka Mindbody Syndrome).  So I jumped into Dr. Schubiner's program.  This book, and the web site, provide writing exercises, meditations, etc., that help us increase our awareness, bridge the gap between our subconscious and conscious minds, and break free from the conditioned pain responses that come after encountering a trigger.  For me, playing sports was a trigger.  I can very happily say I've been able to play basketball vigorously several times without getting headaches afterwards.  Same goes for running,  biking, and hiking.  This is a HUGE deal for me, as I really felt depressed and angry about those limitations on my life.

I feel so grateful for Dr. Schubiner's work (and Dr. Sarno's as well).

I am going through the program a second time now.  Because I still have experienced some pain and other symptoms and look forward to improving my health even more.  However, I now recognize the pain comes up after emotional responses (fear, anger, etc) and not as a result of physical exercise.  I look forward to posting an update in the future when I have even more control of my body.

To your health,
Bill

I am still recovering from a stroke. This book brought me to tears in the first 2 pages. Well written and organized

I did not buy this product from Amazon but I feel as though I need to leave a message. I drink one cup before I went to bed. I woke up around 3 AM with a terrible pain in my side.  I'v taken Tylenol and drinking plenty of water to get it out of my system. Reading all of the other reviews I know that this awful pain I am having is due to the tea.

Served my purpose.  Which is not to use as intended.  I have Raynaud's.  I feel a tingling, slightly painful, sensation when I touch electronic devices.  I must use a stylus.  I wanted this to hang a stylus onto the cover of my phone.  Perfect!

My husband had open heart surgery and had a stroke either in surgery or in recovery.  This little trainer is going to be a great product for a bicycle rider, which he was and we hope will be again.  It has already helped his restless leg problem, which is a by product of stroke.  Good invention.

I bought this for my migraines.  It does work to relieve them. The freezing cold diminishes the pain quite a bit. I have two of the gel packs for when the first one warms up, and that takes a couple of hours.  I sleep with the wrap on.  There is nothing like a head on fire being cooled by this wrap.  It is not a complete cure, but it definitely is in the arsenal that works to stamp out the headache. I also take Kal Migra Defense tablets as a preventative and they really work as well.  I also take Kal Magnesium Glycinate 400 tabs. I take one every night.  Those "prevent" the migraine. This ice pack is the thing that works when I have the migraine. I love it.

One thing to note: I had to get used to the cold.  It was painful having the cold on my painful head, and I had to sort of move it a little higher so it was not DIRECTLY on my pain spot; the cold was so sharp. Then, about 4 or 5 times later, I got used to it.  I got to a point where I  stopped feeling the "extra" pain from the freezing pack and started putting the wrap directly on the pain spot, and now it really has a relieving effect for me.
