Thanks, but for starters this article was in 2002. Second, in the first paragraph "There is no treatment to reverse the neurologic deficit of this disease manifestation....." I've tried several light therapies. All have failed. At this point I'm just looking to decrease the daily pain, even partially. When the pain flares up during the day, what do I do??? Neuropathy Meds don't work. Pain meds don't work. Until the nerve pain calms down by itself, I am not a happy camper. To me it's all about the PAIN. What to do when the nerve pain flares up.
