Yesterday and this morning, my extremities are tingling way less so I am hopeful that my statin damaged nerves are healing. Also I have been sleeping better although weight loss has plateaued and tinnitus is loud as ever.
Overall, I have seen enough of an improvement in my health and feeling of well being to justify the expensive treatments and dietary advice. Still hopeful, I will experience even more positive results in spite of not adhering to the strict anti-inflammatory diet as closely as I was. Hopefully, the new PEMF treatment will improve the tinnitus eventually.
My twice a week treatments started the end of May.
The PEMF machine arrived in September near the end of my prearranged treatment plan but I am still getting a treatment once a week in *maintenance*.
I cannot accurately rate just how much the treatments have helped in reversing my nerve damage so did not volunteer to do a testimonial .... yet. If the diet alone is the main source of improvement in health (weight loss and normal blood pressure), I did not need the expensive treatments, just the dietary advice. Then again, the expense did make me more committed to the diet.
I do think this chiropractor spends too much time trying to attract new clients and then treats most of his clients the same. His office offers treatments just 3 days a week and often closes for holidays and vacations. There are other chiropractors who are specialists in reversing neuropathy who may have treated my particular case differently. Granted the longer a person is on a statin, the longer it may take to heal the damaged nerves. However, there is also a hereditary factor and I know from developing carpal tunnel syndrome during my first pregnancy that I have an anomaly in my wrists discovered in surgery and therefore, probably in my ankles and other joints where nerves are being compressed by blood vessels. Nerve compression from blood vessels may also play a role in fibromyalgia.
The medical profession in general has ignored statin adverse effects. My doctor who has since retired ignored my neuropathy complaints in spite of obvious signs like no hair growing on my legs or arms and tried to bully me into continuing on statins. My medical history still will not officially include peripheral neuropathy or tinnitus so these conditions and possible treatments are just ignored. There seems to be a silent agreement among medical doctors and medical insurance companies not to recognize these conditions officially. Perhaps this silence is controlled by Pharma.
It is a vicious cycle how statins can affect metabolic disease and nerve damage.
If I had not discovered health bouncing on a bungee rebounder, I truly believe my condition would have become physically and mentally unbearable. Health bouncing enabled just enough circulation to my nerves to keep them alive. Where there is Life, there is Hope.
