Durka-Durka-Muhammed-Jihad!!
(By way of PDA)
I'm trying something new to deal with the neuropathy that comes from dialysis - Infrared Therapy.
I'm laying here on a bench with IR lights strapped to my feet. The 'treatment' is 30 minutes long and I'm told that most patients don't see any change(s) until nine or ten treatments.
I was initially leary about trying this to treat the neuropathy, but I'm guessing that as far as the neurologist that I'm seeing is concerned, I'll have to learn to 'crawl' before I can walk.....meaning that I'll have to undergoe these treatments before she realizes that this isn't a 'normal' problem; initially, she had me return to taking a specific medication that I was taking before my stroke.....one that did nothing. I took the meds for several weeks before she said 'Hmmm....it doesn't seemto be doing anything.'
As my daughter would say: 'Doi!!' And the goofy part of this is that this IR thetapy is supposed to improve blood circulation and the neuropathy problem is the nerves in my feet arebasically 'spazzing out'.
Like I said before: crawl before walking....
And the added bonus to this? I get to listen to old women bitch about having knots in their backs as I lay here...
Thank you :)
