I am 10 days using the rebuilder. I was having a lot of pain in the feet about 7-8 out of 10 at night, my balance problems resulted in 2 falls, and the numbness in my feet on a scale of 1-10 was about a 7-8. After 10 days, I am down to pain at night is < 4 , Balance problems < 4 (no more falls either), numbness at night < 4.
In addition to the rebuilder I am also using the supplement list from Wing42. trying to stay on an auto-immune diet. One problem still is walking distance. At the end of a mile my balance gets worse (7-8 at the end ) starting with a 3-4 at the beginning. I am stretching. I believe my neuropathy started with damage to the nerves in my back from back injury 10 years ago and has gotten worse through diet, stress, etc. I am going to stay with the rebuilder. It does seem to be part of the answer for me. At the end of 30 days I will post another reply. I keep daily records and always try to observe my symptoms. I sure hope the distance and balance issues improve, but maybe there is still some aggravation of the nerves. At the end of 30 days I also plan to see a doctor that has studied functional neurology in Broward Florida for possible next steps. |

I have had a Rebuilder for over 10 years. When things are particularly bad at night, I use it for a soak, although if I had to do it now, I would either get a less expensive unit, or just soak in Epsom salts.
I do feel a bit better after a session, which might also happen with just a soak; I don't believe it's reversing the condition. |

I had a quick onset PN after medication. Within about three months I was in a wheelchair because I couldn't feel either foot, I felt numbness up both legs and into my lower torso, and had shooting pains in my hands and arms. I was wobbly while trying to walk, my thigh muscles were degenerating. I have a phobia about doctors for conditions where there is no known medical treatment, so went straight to alternative healing modalities, and just dove in and spent the money for the Rebuilder. I figured I had to act quickly. One thing I did that was really important was wearing warm socks and sock warmers 24/7 for about three-four months. Any time that my feet got cold, I felt an immediate loss of improvement. And this was during the summer! Within a couple weeks after starting with the Rebuilder I was about 75% better, with greatly reduced numbness in my feet, my hands and arms completely better, no numbness in the thighs and torso, and my legs stronger so I was no longer wobbly. Today I'm about 95% better with some numbness still in my toes and in my feet if I do not remember to do the Rebuilder. I've started using the foot socks instead of the bath as the bath was becoming a bit too much work. I can't say if the other modalities (epson salt baths, tens machine) recommended in this thread would have worked as well as I did not try them. The Rebuilder, last I looked, was much much cheaper than previously, $800 rather than $2000. Still too expensive, IMO. I have no connection to the Rebuilder Medical company. |
