Hello i just feel like i have wasted money on buying the machine not to use it.and i know someone would get more use out of it than i did.i thought it was going to change my life but i am only disappointed i feel like i am used to feeling very tired no matter how much sleep i get anyways and its just something i have to deal with.i know i sound negative but if i could sell to someone and they be happy with it i would be happy they are getting the benefits that i couldn't out of the machine
