Hi guys, I wanted to update you on how things have gone with the LaserTRX and my wife Linda's neuropathic pain. Well, basically not that great. We did the light 2 times a day on 3 different places on each foot for 5 minutes each. So six locations twice per day. They recommend you do it for 3 weeks (21 days) to give it a fair trial. Linda got to day 19 by which time she called an end. During the last few days she had been saying she thought it was hurting her but I kept encouraging her to keep going and she agreed that maybe since it seemed to be doing SOMETHING so maybe it would get better. But finally her pain got to be too intense for her to tolerate. So she gave up. That was about a week ago. She has had mostly very high pain days since, much higher than before starting the LaserTRX. I am hoping her pain will calm down over some more time but she does not think so. We'll see. But we definitely can't give the unit a thumbs up based on our experience of it. Sorry for the bad news.

I hope that ultimately you do see benefits bunnyp, and maybe since your pain is from shingles it will have a better outcome. I also have the most positive wishes and prayers for jerid as well. I hope for only the best for both of you. I am returning the unit by the way. Too expensive not to. Best, Hank
