Has anyone tried the Lifewave X39 Patch for Neuropathy?
Neuropathy | Last Active: 1 day ago | Replies (25)Comment receiving replies
A year ago my physician told me I was extremely deficient in B12 and I foolishly didn’t address it. At that time I noticed some cramping on my left foot especially in the toes. It was intermittent so I didn’t pay much attention to it. It happened primarily when I was driving.
I started to experiencing burning in my left foot and tingling in my right hand in February. When I googled those symptoms I realized I needed B12 And saw my physician. I’m very thin and he felt as though perhaps I don’t metabolize an oral type of B12 well. So I started getting IM shots and noticed some relief but it was temporary. Went to my PCP and she prescribed gabapentin. It makes me loopy so I don’t take it.
A colleague asked me about Lifewave and it sounded like hooey to me so I didn’t do anything. The burning subsists. I’ve tried epsom salt soaking, topical analgesics (still do) but I’m desperate because my husband and mother have debilitating neuropathy and I’ll do anything to prevent it from getting worse. So I bit the bullet and started Lifewave. I’m definitely experience something but still have burning. My toes have stopped curling so I’m hopeful that is a sign. My sense is this takes a minute so I will happily report back when I have been on the patches for 1 month.

I wanted to report back on my neuropathy symptoms. I have since learned that I have pernicious anemia which is why I have neuropathy. I am administering 3ml shots of methylcobalamin daily and the symptoms have started to abate. I still have it but it isn't the unbelievable burning pain I was having.
I learned this because I went on vacation and while gone, I was wearing b12 patches. When I returned, my feet were on fire. I went to a clinic and received a b12 injection. I went the next day and asked for another one. The nurse there was willing to give it to me but stated that I couldn't get more than 2 in a week. After much study and my symptoms of light headedness, extremely cold hands and feet, cold intolerance (I live in Texas and its 90 degrees and I'm wearing a sweatshirt in the house), unexplained weight loss (I've lost 20 lbs in year), I researched and found a site in the UK that explained what my symptoms could be stemming from. I do have gastric issues and do not retain b12 through diet or by mouth with tablets.
I am continuing to wear the X39 patch because I have encountered many other benefits, better sleep, the crepey skin on my arms is gone etc, but it hasn't benefitted me like daily small dose b12 shots. I purchased shots at a b12 store and am converting them from 1MG dose shots into 3 smaller dose shots of 3ml. I will report back when I have been doing this for 90 days as that is how long it takes for red blood cells to regenerate.
Hello!
My daughter-in-law has severe neuropathy related to her breast cancer diagnosis 10 years ago. Thankfully, she's cancer-free but not neuropathy-free. At my urging, she recently tried LifeWave and reported that after the very first night, she reported noticing an immediate lessening of her pain level. She's excited to continue incorporating the patch and is now a 'true believer'!

Are your doctors monitoring your B12 levels? Just wondering if it’s still a problem of having B12 deficiency.
