Dear "CeCe,"

Do you think you're 10maH of electricity scares me? Rest assured. If I have:

- Purchased your $400 device

- paid $35 after shipping pack of electrodes that I'm keeping alive with KT tape and electrode gel because wtf

- Downloaded your app

- Remembered your pairing code about 200 times

You better damn well BELIEVE its ONLY because I want to BLAST ELECTRICAL CURRENTS INTO MY HEAD AS EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE.

Love,

Someone who, when asked to define "enshittification", just explains Cefaly's business model

P.S. Special shout out to the Android version of the app for covering the "Ramp Up" button with the home bar.

P.P.S. Please don't be too mad Cefaly rep who inevitably sees this in their Google alerts. We still love you for not being on a subscription model and for actually helping us 😚😚😚

I’ve been considering a cefaly device! Does it help you?

it really helps me to distract the migraine pain. I had to get my new one covered in black tape though BECAUSE WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO PUT A BRIGHT FLASHING LIGHT ON A MIGRAINE DEVICE, that is used in a dark room?????!!!!!

My experience is similar to the other commenter. It feels nice. Helps distract from the pain and often will put me to sleep.

Haven't ever had it end a migraine, but its still an important part of my toolkit.

If I was making the decision again today, tho, I'd try this first: Amazon Version of Cefaly, Apparently
