A journey with Dr. Bao Thai and reversing neuropathy

So i have 2 more appointments left, one of which is the reassessment tomorrow.   For the sake of entire transparency, I'll capture below what i expect to express from my perspective: THE GOOD : 1) Without doubt, the staff at Dr. Thai's practice is amazing.  Whether it is the welcoming ladies at the front desk, or the techs administering treatment, or Dr. Buckley... they are all top shelf and i wouldn't hesitate a moment to recommend them personally.  While they are super great- i want to give a special accolade to Dr. Buckley- his enthusiasm and positivity is utterly contagious.  Anyway, you get the idea.... the staff is GREAT! 2) I experienced pretty significant weight loss.  I weighed 243 when i started, and Friday i weighed 216 - that's 27 lbs from Dec 21 to Mar 22 ( 3 months).  I attribute that to the strict keto regiment.  While i think i could have done this on my own without the cost, my wife rightly pointed out that i didn't......

I returned from a 5 day vacation to the Davis Mountains in West Texas yesterday.  All things considered, it was a pretty good trip for my neuropathy.  I was only able to do light therapy once a day, but i was hiking 3~4 miles a day.  The biggest issue i had was some pretty intense discomfort putting on hiking boots- the pressure of pulling on boots pushed against the tips of my toes causing some pain. As for my visit to see Dr. Buckley (I've determined Dr Bao Thai is really only the face guy to get new business- i haven't talked to him once since i signed the contract), it was a pretty good day.  Dr. Buckley suggested it was from less stress.  The big thing to report though is the change in laser.... they switched me to a less powerful laser that has 4 beams instead of 1.  The reason this is notable is because in felt the laser in places in my hands that i haven't in the past.   Hunter and Dr Buckley sounded a slight bit surprised by t...

I've been diligent to strictly follow the dietary regimine for the last few weeks- technically since we started the program.  I weighed 219 this morning.   I'm doing the light therapy as instructed... they did cut me back to 10 minutes on my hands and 10 minutes on my feet because i was describing more tingling from the machine near the end of the long sessions- almost to the point of discomfort.  Dr Buckley suggested i bring in the light machine to trade in my next session.  Exercise hasn't happened so much- i need to get back on that- and i will.  Today, Dr Buckley asked how i was feeling compared to the start.   I had to tell him out was virtually the same, or maybe even slightly worse.   At no point during my day does the tingling/ numbness ever go away.   It doesn't stop me from doing things... but it didn't when i started therapy either.  I say it might be worse because my toes feel raw against the sheets now and tha...
