I am ALWAYS looking for that one thing that Alan can strap on, that will bring the blood into his feet so the PN pain will go away. Alan will go to Brookstone and sit in their massage chair and he says "ah, the pain is gone" but who can afford a $3000 chair?

The one thing he used to do while sitting on the couch watching tv is to hold one of those Homedics big vibrating things and put it on his thigh and as he said: "it brings the blood into my feet and it makes the pain MUCH better"

But he has burned out two of those things in about 5 years.

So I once said to him "wouldn't it be great if they invented a thing that you can strap on to your legs (or your feet) and plug it in and it would shake your legs so the desired effect would happen (he has no circulation problems by the way, this has been checked numerous times).

And whenever I massage him, and I do it the correct way, the blood (this is what he says is happening, honestly, I don't know if he's right) but he says the blood goes into his feet and the pain is gone.

So today I'm on youtube and I find this video on THE SLENDER SHAPER.

Take a look

Now forget about the abs, forget about losing weight, just look at the part of the videos (there are two times in this particular video where ANYONE WITH NEUROPATHY, will know the point I'm trying to make)

There is a part in the video where this Slender Shaper is on the person's calves. This gadget oscillates so it produces the same effect that his Homedic thing did.

And toward the end of the video the guy is talking about putting it on his feet and you can see (when he has it on his feet), you can see the feet shaking so naturally I'm thinking "anyone with PN in their feet that has the shooting pins and needles, and well, THIS THING JUST MIGHT HELP.

Let me know what you all think.

I'm going to see how much this gizmo costs.
