Giving Nooro a try

Posted by madmouse43 @madmouse43, Apr 9, 2024

From my time here on the Mayo Clinic Connect and my own experience I realize that there is no magic bullet for painful feet from PN Wether it be drugs, machines, home remedies or anything else. All of our attempts for relief have received personal unique results.
What helps one does not necessarily help all others or even any others. It is with that in mind that I am going to give the Nooro Foot Massager which I got on a 90 day no questions asked return policy.
I will be using setting 1 at a strength of 13 to see what happens (it seemed like the most appropriate setting) for 15 minutes 1x per day.
If anyone had any hints, suggestions or comments I would live to hear from you.

I have had neuropathy for 10 years,,,the pain starts at about 2pm. I wait until 8-9pm to take (4) 300 Mg gabapentin helps me sleep at night. Nooro feet massager claims to replace gabapentin…is this true???

I'm not familiar with Nooro. But interesting that your discomfort starts in the afternoon. My symptoms never go away, but they become more painful around 3 pm. and by nighttime I'm putting on my special socks from from the freezer with gel inserts top and bottom to cool my feet from the pain.

Lyrica and Gabapentin are different chemical composition. I switched from Gabapentin to Lyrica. Definitely different.

For the most part I have quite mild SFN. I've been on Gab. but I don't like how I feel so I am trying tp wean off by following my doctors direction. I'm worried that Lyrica will give the same type of side effects. Should I be concerned with that?

PreGabalin is much cheaper than Lyrica and is the same thing except it's generic. When I switched I didn't bother weaning off of GabaPentin.

I really don't know what the difference/s is/are. I know it works for me. I suppose I could look it up but who is to decide which inactive components render it equal to or worse. For Cymbalta the timed-release coating issue seems to have a lot of merit.
