In response to:
I have suffered with Peripheral Neuropathy since I was 15-years-old (39-years-old now). I was struck by ground lightning (where ligtning stricks the ground a distance away and travels through the ground). I have tried all sorts of medications and therapies over the years. TENS was extreme torture, causing more injury and months of recooperation. So, if your Peripheral Neuropathy was caused by electric injury, I would NOT recommend this type of therapy. The medication they have me on, the only thing that has helped at all, it 1200 mg of Gabapentin every eight hours. It is VERY important to keep the medication evenly spaced - much more effective that way. This treatment reduces the constant pins-n-needles to a lower "static" sensation. However, on days that storms are coming in, I have to resort to Hydrocodone to control the severe pain.
