It has not gotten rid of my PN but it sure does help. If I am in the middle of a bad burn flare I will use and it lessons the duration of the flare.

I always use it morning and night, and then again if I have a bad flare.

Keep me updated, I sure pray it works for you.

Superstar, how is it going with your new chi??


Well, I confirmed again that mine is helping me. last night I decided to skip using my chi before bed, I felt I neeeded to give my knee a rest since it was hurting from new exercise that I started this week.

Last night was the worse night I have had in months. I was up until 5 am wih burning. Finally at 5am I decided to go use the chi machine and sure enuf it helped stop my flare and by 5:30 I was in my own bed and sleeping.

Tell me how you are doing??

Hi Stacy,

Really pleased to hear that it is helping you so much, anything that helps right?

I used it for 5 days twice a day and then I had my first neuro appt. and he said he thinks I may have spinal compression or impingement and am schedulec for an MRI in two weeks. He said if it gets worse to go back to ER and I think I will go on Monday as I feel the numbness/strength in my legs is worse. In his office I had to squat and then get up on my own which I could barely do but now i can't do it at all and this is in just one week so am a bit worried that if I wait another two weeks for MRI things may be a lot worse by then.

After he said it may be spine related I thought using the Chi machine was not a good idea, at least until I find out if that is the cause or not as it certainly jiggles the spine around.

Thanks for asking and hope you continue to get good results with your Chi.

Hi Stacy,

I have posted under first neuro appointment the events of the last few days and to cut a long story short had MRI which showed mass in spinal column and am going for outpatient appointment tomorrow with neurosurgeon and in the meantime I am on steroid to shrink it/stop it getting worse.

I think using the Chi machine is definately out of the question for the moment until I get more answers.

Will update when I can.

Maybe your hubby can use it.

I hope the best for you!!!
