Hi All,
I am new member to this site and like all of you have had pn for many years. Two months ago I reached the end of possible drug treatments for the problem. My body has become over sensitive to the many meds out there. The meds were no longer working, not working at all or making me totally ill with adverse side effects. Anodyne therapy was recommended by both my neurologist and a pain specialist as my options were becoming very limited. I went through the 4 week session doing three meetings a week. About three weeks into the treatment I began to notice a change and improvement. Due to the expense, after much discussion with my husband, I purchased a home system.
At this point I do a daily session which takes about a hour and a half , giving me time to read or watch tv. Doing daily treatments has resulted in a very noticeable change in the intensity of the pain and now reduces the level enough that my pain med at night actually works. Before this nothing was stopping the steam roller of pain and nights become a very long ordeal.
Days with really high humidity still produce runaway pain but these occasions are much fewer. On the whole using this treatment and having to take a minimum of pills a day is a true blessing. This is the first sign I have had in over eight years that something I am doing is actually slowing the progress of the pn. For me this is a small miracle! I actually have long periods of time when I can say I feel no pain !!!!!!!! What a wonderful thing!
This treatment is worth the trial session if you have pn. For many it is a wonderful gift.
PS My pn is contributed to Sjogren's Syndrome. I am not diabetic.
