My son has an Idromed 5 PC machine. He believes he is about 60% better after 21 days of treatment. The water level has been about 16 ounces in each tray. We have changed the polarity about each 5-6 days. The following is a list of his treatments schedule the past 21 days:

MAs Time
15 20 minutes
15 20 minutes
11 25 minutes
11 25 minutes
7 30 minutes
9 30 minutes
5 20 minutes
7 30 minutes
5 30 minutes - RIGHT ABOUT HERE WE STARTED USING CREME ON HANDS To Moisturize
8 30 minutes
9 25 minutes
10 30 minutes
10 30 minutes
11 15 minutes
10 20 minutes
11 30 minutes
12 30 minutes
13 15 minutes
14 20 minutes
15 15 minutes
15 15 minutes

Any suggestions or thoughts?

Dear Big Red,

this looks good to me. I would say to keep it up until he has reached 100% or a dryness level that he feels comfortable in.
I guess you're using the creme only afterwards? If not, then please use only afterwards.

Thanks for the response. Yes, crème after.

Any thoughts on increasing MA level?

You are very welcome!
You can increase the mA level, but only if you can treat comfortably. The therapy should never hurt! Wink

It has now been another 27 days (so total of 48 days). My son feels he is about 75% but that the effectiveness of the treatment has leveled off - not much, if any improvement lately. The last 15 days we have increased MA level from 15 to 16, then 17 and now 18. Still for 15 minutes per day.

Any other suggestions - little less water, do treatments longer, keep inching up the MA level (if not hurt), or anything else?

where does it hurt when you increase the mA ?

higher currents - more frequency - more time : increase of the therapy result ... one of these should be increased if you got no good results

It does not hurt when increase. Just increasing it slowly.

We have an Idromed 5 PC machine. What's the difference between frequency and current? Is the MA the current? If so, can I change the frequency on this machine?

We will slowly keep increasing MAs.
Do you suggest we add 5 minutes? 10 minutes?

frequency: how often you treat a week or day
mA=MilliAmpere , yes, the current

frequency x mA x time = 75% success
increase one of them by 25% (or all three 7,5%) - you normally recevice 100% success
