Hi there,

Yes, I have a gammaCore unit and it can be quite effective, if you use it as soon as you feel an attack coming on.

I had to buy the unit because neither the Public Health Service, or the Private Medical Insurance , in Ireland, would cover it.

It cost me €700 a few years ago and was programmed with 250/2 minute treatments.

Since I started the Vitamin D Regimen, I very rarely have to resort to using it, but I still carry it with me.

Peter.
