About 10 years ago, I had Calmare protocol administered by a pain management doctor (in staten Island, NY) and it did not alleviate my neuropathy condition. More recently, I had 25+ treatments with the RST Sanexas. This also did not work. Have improvements been made to the Calmare technology since then? I've had peripheral neuropathy in my feet for about 10 + years.

Having had severe neuropathy for over 7 years, I can certainly empathize with you. Mine is due to a ski fall back in 2016. Hit my lower back and buttocks pretty hard. It's been a rollercoaster ride ever since. Along with back pain I have had sciatica and severe burning og the feet. I had it under control for about 3 years with meds and a spinal cord stimulator. Then, all the pain returned in 2021. Have seen more docs than I can keep track of. I had the morphine pain pump implanted back in April of this year. It worked well for about a week, and then began to lose its effectiveness. I am back on Tramadol (after being able to wean myself off it when the pain pimp was giving me decent relief). If they ever deny me access to this drug (and I only take 1 50 mg. tab 3 times a day), It will be interesting to see WHAT they do put me on.
Have you tried a spinal cord stimulator? You can do a trial to see if it gives you any pain relief.
