"I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 30 years ago and I have been in pain ever since. My pain was severe and I had to stop working 10 years ago. I couldn't sit longer than 15 minutes so there was no way for me to work as a transcriptionist. I couldn't even sleep because the pain would wake me up every 15 minutes. I didn't expect to find relief for my pain when I went to the Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation, but my counselor referred me to Philip Muccio at Axiobionics. For the first time in a long time, he was able to help me live without severe pain. My levels of pain are way down when I wear the BioSuit. To my amazement I'm able to work again and my sleep problems have completely gone away. I'm very grateful to both Axiobionics and Vocational Rehab for helping me regain my life."

"I am able to work at what I like. I can sing in a choir, I have more energy. Other people have noticed... you can see me smiling more... I’m not cringing from the pain. When I am not in pain and feeling better that makes me more outgoing. My husband likes what it’s doing for me because I’m not doped up from pain medicines. It was a God-send that BVR sent me to Axiobionics. Had they not done that I would still be on pain medicines and not working. It has changed my life. I am now participating in many social activities that I couldn’t do before. I am dancing with my husband all the time now, even in the middle of our living room. I can live my life now without pain interfering with everything I do. I am now back to taking good care of my husband. For 5 years he was taking care of me. I feel like I’ve regained my life."

"I went from not being able to do anything, including work, and now I can do most anything I want, within reason. It was a night and day difference in my ability to function and concentrate and now I am far more positive about the future. I now have the physical capacity to work, whereas before being fitted with the BioVest it was impossible. Without a doubt I am very grateful to my BVR counselor who decided to refer me to Axiobionics... it was the best decision she could make! "

"It is nice to have my arm back again. I can move it in any position without pain, and the wires are not interfering with my arm. When I’m wearing the ‘sleeve’ my pain is 0/10 and the muscles are really relaxed. I really appreciate BVR referring me to Axiobionics, and now I’m confident that I can return to work. "

"I was just about ready to sign up for disability and had given up on a normal life...and now I'm working full-time and sometimes even overtime. I can't believe it, but my social and family life are amazing because I can do things now I didn't think possible. I remember the very first weekend I got the device...it was the first pain free weekend I spent in 13 years. Dr. Phil rocks!"
