good luck to all/

Hi Rob, thanks for the progress report, just curious have you been continuing the treatment and if so how many treatments have you had and how often.
So happy to hear you are having such great results. I may revisit the clinic where I was having them done.

Hi Donna,

I have NOT had any additional Laser treatments since my original 20 that ended this summer. My relief continues today.

i did speak to the chiro about additional treatments and they have a 'touch-up' treatment for $30 if i feel like i need one.....which i have not at this time.





I have also scheduled a trip to my Primary care doc to get a blood test and all that fun stuff. I will post results of that as well.

best wishes!


I am hoping to see a MUCH IMPROVED A1C number.............

Gees, that is great for you Robb. My symptoms continue to worsen, now I am wondering if I had enough treatment, and at the right settings. I can't remember the exact number I had but it was well over 20. Also the machine I had my treatment was the Biotech one, I believe you told me yours was a different brand. I am sure all those things make a difference. Well it is good news for you. Thanks so much for the updates I do appreciate them.
Having PN is so complicated, so many reason and so many treatments work for different people.

hi all

its about 5 months since my last treatment in July.

im happy to report that my neuropathy has not flared and the relief I had from the treatments has lasted this far.

I still take 3600 neurontin and all my supplements. I CAN tell when i miss the neurontin by more than a few hours.

but 50% better is still AWESOME :D

regards and GL to all/

And for those who don't want to spend alot of money...

I am having very good results with my laser pointer. It does however need to be done about every day...or every other day because the effect does not hold without.

My ankle swelled up to almost twice its size after my vacation and with daily pointer treatments is now normal. Pain is minimal too. I don't know how it works...but I suspect it improves circulation because the swelling seems to involve my surgical scar and the fluid retention goes down with the light therapy.
I also do my toenail beds now on each foot, and my nails look much better, less thick, and more youthful. This really suggests to me a circulation/blood flow improvement.

I use a 5mW red type. Still on my original batteries too! (I do it while watching TV).
