Quell or Kailo or other pain patches
Has anyone tried a Quell with any success ?
Or even a pain patch like Kailo ?
I'm trying to exhaust all options before going to a stronger long lasting opioid or Spinal stimulator

Re: Quell or Kailo or other pain patches
One of our board members uses a TENS to keep her WED/RLS at bay. At first she had to use it nightly, but gradually used it less and less, til it was only now and then. I think she's an exception; most of us have had mixed results or no help from a TENS. But it's certainly worth a try. You should find out if you happen to be one of the people it helps.
I had to look up Kailo. Interesting! A patch filled with ultra-tiny capacitors that supposedly interupts the pain signal on its way to the brain. $119 for one that lasts forever - plus unknown $ every (few weeks?)? to replace the adhesive strips. A company called Signal Relief makes something that sounds the same for a similar price.

Re: Quell or Kailo or other pain patches
I'm not sure about the legitimacy of either kailo or signal relief ...
I do know Quell is a real thing .... I was going to get one from Sleep Therapitics in Toronto
... they are the same distributor I got my relaxis from
It seems they no longer carry either device
I'll try to see if any or all of these devices have Canadian distributors .
I'd rather avoid duties and shipping costs should I need to return anything in the likelihood that they don't work
Gotta exhaust all my options though

Re: Quell or Kailo or other pain patches
So Quell is no longer even shipped to Canada.
I would need to ship to a P.O. box at the border
... as inconvenient as that sounds, the border isn't even open lol
Signal relief does ship to basically anywhere, and if it doesn't work they give you your money back and you get to keep the device too
I've yet to hear back from kailo "support"

Re: Quell or Kailo or other pain patches
I’d love to know more about how to use the TENS. I just ordered one because I’m desperate.

Re: Quell or Kailo or other pain patches
I could never figure out a placement that helped. It seems to me that it must be very specific to the person or the "type" of symptoms they have.Belsheart wrote: ↑Wed Dec 15, 2021 8:21 pmI’d love to know more about how to use the TENS.

Re: Quell or Kailo or other pain patches
Did anyone ever purchase one of these Quell or Kailo devices? @Icantsleep or @badnights
Re: Quell or Kailo or other pain patches
I purchased a Quell on the advice of my Sleep Medicine doctor it made absolutely no difference now I see it's been taken off the market as not effective.
