Thank you for your reply. Yes I was diagnosed 2019 with neuropathy. Numbness,tingling & burning in feet and hands. Presently taking acupuncture (6 sessions) which is giving me slight relief. Also taking supplements and Alpha Lipoic Acid 600 mg.
Do you have any experience with Osito foot stimulator with tens unit? Lilly

@campana, I tried a tens unit for about 6 weeks when I was first diagnosed with small fiber PN but it didn't really help with the numbness symptoms that I have. I think others have used tens unit with some success. The one I had was a programmable tens unit with 2 separate large pads that you placed your feet on. There is another discussion on Connect that you may want to post your question on where members are discussing tens units.

Has anyone had success using Tens on their feet?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/has-anyone-had-success-using-tens-on-their-feet/

Hi @campana I also take ALA 600 mg daily. Have you experienced any stomach burning? How do you take your ALA capsule(s)? Toni

Do you have to be standing or sitting to use the Osito stimulator?
