try the stim pen..My neuropathy was almost completely gone from my chemo treatments..I got my Shingrix shot and am back to where I was with the neuropathy..I have reflexology treatments and also use the stim pen. Has anyone one tried acupuncture for neuropathy or tinnitus?

thanks for the advice and quick response.

What is a stims pen? I use a TENS on my feet that seems to help.

Great! Thank you so much @1luckyguy ! I will try that

Hello @1luckyguy Could you tell me more about how you use the stim pen (how long do you use it for? how long does the relief last? How many spots do you use it on? anything else you might be able to share.
My husband has been getting acupuncture for neuropathy for over a year and has seen several different practitioners before finding the right one. While the acupuncture does not cure the neuropathy it possibly has improved the symptoms a little. When his first came on he seemed to be in a lot more pain and was taking higher doses of meds. He doesn't go a day without pain but has parts of a day where it's not that bad. It seems that stress and heat aggravate it. He also tried reflexology but that didn't help at all. I'm sorry that the Shingrix shot pushed you back but hopefully you'll be able to get back to where you were when it started improving. Thank you.
