Hi Donna :) I am so happy for you! I tried a tens unit a few years ago and all it did was aggravate my adhesions more. What a miracle to be able to sleep through the night also :) I hope the Pain Shield continues to give you relief. After my last full blown episode that put me in the E.R. I just don't want to deal with this any longer! Congrats! Cheryl
