Met with Dr. Buckley yesterday and expressed my frustration.  He reminded me this is a process and individual results can differ.   He also reminded me to compare where i am to where i started- not where i want to be. 

He provided several examples that progress is occurring:
1) i couldn't feel the laser heat on much of my feet during the initial assessment and on my palms during the early therapy sessions- now it is VERY light in places.
2) Early experiences/sensations were constant- and near the halfway point i have good hours and some not so good. 

He also tempered my expectations that i might not realize full healing and no discomfort- but that i should accept that improvements have occurred and are occurring still. 

I'm not radically enthusiastic about his answer, but i understand it.   I can't even say he is wrong.  I'm simply disappointed because in my mind, i had expected a near recovery by this point considering where i started and the last half of treatments were going to be about maintenance and health. 
Because my fingers/toes feel different at different times of day, i should start annotating the time of the sampling.  This pic represents feeling around 11:30AM.
