I started Vital Stim 1.5 weeks ago at 3x per week. I have had a modified radical neck dissection 1x and radiation 2x. So far not a lot of difference. The machine has been maxed out at 25 on my neck and still almost no sensation for me also no damage to flesh. My insurance looks good to cover up to 100 visits per year - BCBS of Mass. I plan on trying this layered with Physical Therapy for the next 6 weeks or so. I'm having an esophageal dilation and mouth stretch (15mm current - trying for 35 to 40mm)on the third of August. I don't know how this is going to turn out but I'm hopeful. Good luck to you.
