Yeah. I started using one in 1981 just around the time they became
popular. Used it for my back & legs (in an X fashion with 4
electrodes). It did lose it effectivness with me, probably cause In
order to stay out of pain I had to use it almost 20 hrs per day,
and finally I had to turn it up so high to get relief it actually
wasnt relieveing anything
Now that I dont use it much, sometimes I do get relief
