@msovercomer : While doing research on non-invasive, non-drug treatments for CIPN (chemo-induced peripheral neuropathy) I came upon a note on the Mayo Clinic regarding Caltrane (Scrambler) Treatment Therapy for neuropathic pain. There are only 125 providers around the country, but both Mayo and Johns Hopkins find it promising. I have my first appointment on Monday. (For most, it is ten days of treatment over two weeks.) Some insurance companies reimburse for it... some don't. You may want to check out the Caltranett.com website which also lists the providers. If you don't have problems with a pharmaceutical approach, some people respond well to Cymbalta.

Do you have the name right? I tried to search on it and did find something called Calmare scrambler. Is that what your talking about?
