Diabetic Neuropathy

Need help with my pain, It keeps me from waking, keeps me from sleeping, and keeps me a prisioner in my house. i tried Neuragen on my feet and it helps a little but not at all at night when I try to sleep.I was wondering if I could use a Tens machine on my feet to stimulate the nerves. Does anyone know if this would help?
Thank You for nay help.


This discussion is related to use of TENS' machine for neuropathy.

Skihouse,
There is a book, "Pain Free 1-2-3" by Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D., that has many suggestions for treating pain from neuropathy.

Alot of the information is also on his website, endfatigue (dotcom).
Click on sitemap, then on "booknotes" to find chapter by chapter information for the book.

He also wrote an article, "Effective Treatment for Neuropathic (Nerve) Pain" that has been posted on many sites.

(If the url is not functional, just google for the title and author.)

If you don't like to read online, you can go to Amazon and buy the book.
You should be able to find some helpful ideas there.

Wishing you the best,
Carol
