I recently was told of 'Cold Laser Treatments' for the neuropathy. Has anyone tried this and if so, did it work? Has ANYTHING worked to rid you of the neuropathy?

I don't have info about the treatment you are asking about, but I was given valcade and dex in 2011 and it devastated my life! I also tried all the drugs.(including narcotics) The one thing that gave me relief was lidocaine patches. Due to an increase in my revlimid the pain is back ( the buzzing never left) im hoping the patches will work. Good luck & I'm going to check out that treatment jic, Nina
