Do you really think I remember what kind of magnets Alan used??? I'm 59 years old. You're lucky I remember what I made for dinner last night (turkey burgers for him and grilled salmon for me). See? I haven't yet lost my mind!!!

As far as magnets. He's used them 3 different times. The first time were the magnets that come with the insoles that slip inside the shoes. They did nothing.
The second time was a set of magnets that bought at a flew market. The set included a belt that wrapped around the lower back and the ends attached with velcro. That did nothing also.

The third (and I think the most powerful magnets) are the ones in the magnassager. They are powerful magnets (3 balls).

They didn't do a thing for him either.

The only thing that helps Alan is when Dr. Theirl gives him the adjustments, or at the end of the evening, I give him a lower back massage.

Oh, one important thing (and we showed this to Dr. Fred the other day).

When Alan is getting the PN pain in the two toes on one foot and the three toes on the other foot (this happened while he was sitting up on the Dr. Fred's examination table, well, Alan said "My feet are doing a dance", That's his expression for when the PN acts up. I said to Dr. Fred: "Watch what I do for him now and watch how he reacts". I massaged his upper thighs (deeply), massaging toward the heart. I did this for a few minutes and Alan said to Dr. Fred "See, I feel great when she does this, so maybe there's a pinched nerve in my thighs?" Dr. Fred said to Alan "Well, we CAN x-ray your thighs but I'm telling you, the nerves go down the back this way (and Dr. Fred showed Alan where the nerves flow down his back.

This PN thing in his toes is very very disconcerting. He doesn't have it any place else. Forgive me for complaining because I know many of you are fighting many more problems than PN in a few toes. But I still think it comes from his lower back and I hope we find a guy who has an x-ray machine and he puts Alan in it and the machine scans his body and then the doctor reads the films and goes 'AHA, HERE'S WHAT'S GIVING HIM THE PN IN HIS TOES.

Yeah, we can only hope,
