Hello @cwm1, welcome to Connect. We are glad you found us. Connect is a good place to share your health story, ask questions and learn what others with similar health issues are doing for treatments. I did a search of Connect and found one post discussing anodyne therapy. I'm tagging a Connect member who shared that they have tried anodyne therapy. @dbentley are you able to provide any information on anodyne therapy with @cwm1 ?
Here are a few sites I found that discuss the treatment:
Does Anodyne Light Therapy Improve Peripheral Neuropathy in Diabetes?

Effectiveness of the anodyne therapy system in treating diabetic peripheral neuropathy: a systematic review

I looked into a similar treatment from Realief Neuropathy Treatment Center but decided against it based on conversations I had with the treatment center on possible outcomes vs cost vs number of treatments required before they said I would see results...if any. On the other hand I know of a lady older than myself (and I'm old ☺) to whom money was not a problem and she had many treatments and felt it helped her. I'm just not sold on it.
Hopefully some others will join in the conversation and provide you with more information on the anodyne therapy.
