What do you do for Neuropathy itch?

Does the itch from your shingles still bother you much? In another discussion another member named Jeri @jerid also has had shingles recently. She started using a Cold Laser Light device on it and has had some remarkable results according to her. Here is the link to the first post I read from her about this:

You can check out her profile to see all of her posts about this (they are under a few different discussions). After reading what this device has been doing for her I bought a unit as well ($1000 on Amazon, but returnable now until end of January). Another member, @bunnyp also bought one almost the same day I did. We both got ours for less $$ as it was Amazon Prime week, but as you know, you can return it for a full refund. I just thought you might be interested.

My wife is using it for the PN in her feet (today was the 13th day of using it). No results yet (except for some oddly different "feelings"-promising? who knows) but she plans to keep going for at least another week or two, then decide where to go from there. Best, Hank

Wow, Hank so sorry to still hear no results for your wife. How many treatments a day is she doing? You are sure she is doing it correctly, I am presuming you are sure of that. I want everyone to have good results.

I have a friend who had a stroke this spring and her left side of her body was effected. Saturday night I took my L trx over for her a treatment on her left hand which was extremely still puffy. No knuckles were showing at all. We did 2 5 min. treatments then rested and gave her a third one a little later. By the time we were done you could see her knuckles and actual wrinkles of loose skin on the back of her hand. The next evening when I went over for another treatment her hand looked good. Not perfect, but so much better. We could see all her knuckles and more loose skin wrinkles on the back of her hand. Tonight we are going to work on the palm of her hand, because her therapist suggested we do so. I just don't understand why your wife is not seeing results. My friends, husband, ordered one on the spot last night. Double check the instructions and make certain all is being done properly. I don't mean to insinuate that it is not, but I want this to work for your wife.

I suffered for 4 years with this horrible pain and I am so thrilled this is working. I tried all sorts of topical creams and some worked for an hour or so and then right back to misery. Now my sister is in the beginning stages of Shingles and I made her get to her doctor pronto. Jeri
