Hi, 26sabrina (@26sabrina)

That's great news! Can you tell us what sort of neuropathy you have? And what sorts of symptoms you were having and to what degree did they go away? How long the symptoms remain away – that would be of interest, too. It's always great news to learn of a therapy that's working, even if only partially,

I have idiopathic peripheral neuropathy in both feet. I got my first dose the end of April and the second dose a couple of weeks ago. It is applied by a health care person and the whole process takes about an hour. The relief is not immediate but I did start to notice a decrease in pain and burning in about 3 days. Over the course of the next couple of months I notice that I was only having pain and burning in my very front foot and toes when very cold or hot. Now after the second dose I only have pain and burning in my toes when hot or cold. Very rarely do I experience burning in my toes at night that makes it hard to sleep.
The pharmacy gave me 4 doses and I intend to use each of them. I will decided after that if the product is actually effective enough to continue.
I hope this answers everyone's questions.
