1st treament
I had my first treament on the 4th at 4:00 pm. First 3 injections in each foot followed by at least 20 minutes of electro stimulation. When it was done the anesthesia had made my left foot totally numb, red and warm. My right wich is the worse was not totally numb and it was cool and sweaty. I was nervous about not feeling my left foot and can now sympathize with severe diabetes nueropathy. So I was limited in activity. I woke up at 2:00AM and the foot was still numb but there was itching that could not be treated because there was no feeling. I went into a panic attack as I thought I would be in this state permanantly. I took an ativan, put on a topical and fell asleep. At that point I thought I would stop the treatments. The numbness from the treatment was mostly gone by the morning. Today things are pretty much back to normal but my next treatment is this afternoon. I called my cousin and she said her first time was similar and she thought about quitting, but that her experience continued to be different each time and she claims improvment. So I'm going to bite the bullet and let them do it again. If there is no improvement after 4 treatments they will stop.
