Anyone go to a Mayo Clinic for neuropathy?

I have been suffering from peripheral neuropathy brought on by chemotherapy since October 2022. The symptoms have not declined, in fact they have worsened. I contacted the Mayo Clinic earlier this year, requesting an evaluation and possible treatment with scrambler therapy (Calmare.)
I was turned down with the response basically that Mayo cannot treat the vast number of people requesting treatment. Through my research I have found an independent clinic in Wisconsin that offers scrambler therapy. This clinic is one of the very few "Calmare Certified" treatment facilities in the United States. While I would have preferred treatment through a medical facility, and the Mayo Clinic in particular, the Wisconsin treatment center would work best for me given its location and certification. Has anyone sought and received Calmare treatment through one of the certified treatment facilities?

It's great that you have found a treatment center closer to home. There are also other discussions and comments by members on what helps chemo induced neuropathy if you want to scan through those - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/?search=chemo+neuropathy+what+helps.

Have you looked into any other complementary or alternative treatments?
