Diagnosed with moderate/severe poly neuropathy: sensory motor
Hi,
Formally diagnosed with polyneuropathy 4 years ago. recent nerve conduction test indicated moderate-severe condition. To date, numb toes, feet, ankles toward knees. It is progressing but still able to do most things including walking, and swimming with modifications i.e. leg floats. I am 74. Would appreciate information, comments and suggestions from those with similar diagnosis. One thing.....HOKA shoes are the best with a Dr. Scholls gel insert; like walking on a cloud and a huge help. I do not mention this condition to friends and just limited report to grown children believing when the time comes and it is obvious that dad has a medical problem i.e. stumbling etc. and I do not want to be pitied which changes the fundamentals of a relationship. Despite some daily difficulties I feel like the luckiest man alive having lived to age 75!

I have Polyneuropathy and have had it for 6 years. I have been asked to be part of a clinical trial and have not made up my mind yet. This trial uses TENS device. Have you heard anything about this? Thanks you.

The Sanexas treatment machine looks like a big TENS unit, but it is much more than that! A TENS machine is like a X-ray and RST SANEXAS neoGEN device is like getting a MRI. More powerful frequencies and over 20 different treatment programs designed for acute and chronic painful conditions.
It has lots of electrodes that send electrical impulses through the skin with the goal of regrowing nerves. It was not at all painful, just a soothing electrical massage to my arms and legs.
If you would like to email me directly I can send you photographs and videos of my treatment. My email is Ralphduquette@yahoo.com
Thank you
