New User Of Anodyne Therapy

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 noticable 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.

Hi Salsen and welcome to Neuro Talk. Here is the link to our PN forum.

I'm glad you have found some relief with your new system. :)

Welcome to NT, Salsen! I see Alffe has already given you the links, so I'll just say hi, and I'm glad you found us!

Your story about Anodyne therapy is fascinating. I will have to read more about it, for sure. I have rsd, which is quite similar, and I am also on aids meds, which cause PN too.

I hope you cut and paste your story directly to the PN forum.... you'll reach many more PN patients that way, and it's a story they should hear. :)

It's nice to meet you... and again, welcome to NT!
