Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.

Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Send, Nothing wrong with your original answer. I’ve worked in ER’s so much it’s hard to break the abbreviation habit.
I did a 30 day trial of the Quell system - did nothing. My neuropathy is in my lower left leg, ankle and foot. I get the most relief from ice. I go to the athletic dept at the University and put my leg in one of the ice whirlpools a couple of times at week. At home I ice my ankle and foot for about an hour before I go to bed. Really helps.
Becky, To answer some questions, I get it off the internet. In addition, I am at times abrupt, lacking in tactful social skills. This question popped up again on my news feed, when someone liked my answer 30 days ago. I read it and was surprised how it sounded, and apologize to you.
My question to you is, did you try the electrical stimulation, or something else for pain? I sincerely hope you have found improvement, and are healing also from your incident causing you to be hospitalized.
Be well soon!
I have had peripheral neuropathy in my outer thighs, but other leg pain and sciatica must have made it seem like less. I think this all originates in the lower spine, so have you thought of massage?
Send, Good answer. I didn't think about the abbreviation. I have the opposite problem at the university. Students wants abbreviations and acronyms for everything. Sometimes I heard conversations that I don't understand at all because of the acronyms.
I watched a video on using for peripheral neuropathy. It seemed to make sense. I have a pain management meeting next week. I'm going to see what they say. I've looked into medical marijuana, but would lose my psych license if I got a script. I'm semi-resigned that it is what it is, but some relief would be nice.
Also known as L F M S, Low field magnetic stimulation.
This is very interesting as far as bone healing. Maybe it will help my dH heal his hand/thumb joint once the infection clears. To me, it is interesting reading.
Becky, You are very smart. No one except those who have had it will know what this abbreviation means!
However, I have just been visiting a thread dedicated to the frustration caregivers feel when presented with an unfamiliar term or abbreviation. Aging care likes to advertise that one can get answers in ten minutes. After two hours, here is my comment:
Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy - Wikipedia Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT), also known as low field magnetic stimulation (LFMS), uses electromagnetic fields in an attempt to heal non-union fractures and depression. By 2007 the FDA had cleared several such stimulation ...
Have you (or the patient) tried pulsed ultrasound with physical therapy exercises?
