Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

Just catching up with all the recent posts. I read this lady's story @johnbishop linked to his post about her success with the Calmare scrambler system. Since I became aware of it a few years ago through online research I have read a number of stories about this machine. Many people or maybe even most/all have gotten significant relief from it according to their testimonials. My wife and I have thought about having her look into it in Hartford where they have one, since we have family near there. The cost has always stopped us, something like $5000 or so if I remember right. That probably would not stop us but then we read that a followup treatment would likely be required after 2-3 months and who can afford the money for that along with the extra travel, etc.? Maybe if someone offers this near Nashville we might be able to consider it someday. I would think for anyone that can afford it that is suffering with PN it would be of tremendous interest to pursue it, but I don't read very many people discussing it so I can only assume hardly anyone can afford it. Too bad, it seems so promising!

@jesfactsmon Hi Hank, Wanted to tell you that I had Scrambler Therapy, here in Illinois. I had 2, 10 time sessions. The first group of 10 gave me significant pain relief for about 3 weeks. Then the pain came back. I then had 10 more sessions, and it did nothing to help. I asked for a reduction in the cost, before I started the second group of 10 treatments, and the cost was cut in half. The man who did my treatments is well known in Scrambler therapy, and people travel to him sometimes, when it has not been successful elsewhere. I met people there, primarily with CRPS, who swore by the treatments. One teenage CRPS patient had significant relief in one foot, but not in the other. Another said she could not walk without it. I have serious peripheral neuropathy in my feet, and I can be in agony sometimes. I wish it had worked consistently for me, but it did not. If you want your wife to try it, you might negotiate a price. Anyway, hope this helps. Sincerely, Lori Renee
