First of all I would like to thank you for your assistance in helping me to set up the Arc, very simple and straightforward.

Last year I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in my left wrist and significant wear and tear in my right, resulting in considerable pain and weakness in both wrists. The consultant prescribed methotrexate but having researched what this was, it filled me with horror and I started looking for other options. My brother drew my attention to Arc after having considerable success with it for an eye related problem (macular degeneration of the retina) and I was willing to try anything that did not involve drugs. I followed the regime, 6 hours a night for 3 weeks, very easy to follow. I either attached the compact unit whilst watching television or while I lie asleep in bed. It was not invasive and was completely painless; in fact I felt nothing at all.

I cannot believe the transformation. I no longer have any pain in my wrists and if I inadvertently knock them, I do not recoil with the shooting pain I had hitherto. More importantly I now have some strength in both wrists and am no longer reliant on other people to carry out every day practicalities. I can also participate more fully in my Pilates and Balance classes.

We take our bodies so much for granted until it says ‘no can do” so I for one, am very grateful to again have some control over what I chose to do.
