Is The Rebuilder worth the $$$ for my Neuropaphy of the legs? - Neuropathy Message Board

Patient911 · 11-17-2008, 06:07 AM

Hi, I'm a patient at a national health institute, and HIV+, and also had a positive reaction to TB. Currently beeing treated for both and under control. I' ve been wheelchair bound for the past couple years as a result of a neuropaphy of the legs, and hands. Doctors are not sure if it was due to the HIV meds or the TB meds given to me. I had a nerve conduction study test, and the results were perfectly fine. The neurologist told me that I should be able to walk given the results; but in reality I still could not walk. I was told to do some physical theraphy, and that this process might work. But After nine months of physical theraphy, nothing had worked. I was released and sent home. I started searching the net for more info on this neuropathy, and discoved the Rebuilder. Sounds very promissing. I'm a bit cautious about this product. The initial price I saw was $799, then found a site seling it for $699. I searched some more and found it for $399.

Hope this product works as it claims. If anybody has used the Rebuilder for a long period of time, please give me some feedback on your results, that would be great. I'll try to use it for the first 30 days before the guaranty expires and provide some feedback on the product, and see if I'am able to walk again. Thanks Evan

Hi Evan. It certainly sounds like you have a lot on your plate medically. My neuropathy was caused by blood sugar, statin drugs and lower back problems, not by the medications that potentially have caused yours. But from what I understand of the neuropathy condition, the cause is somewhat irrelavent. I, for one, have had very good success with the rebuilder. I am basically pain free, have regained much sensation in my feet and ankles, I am no longer on any of my pain medications, I do not need my walker any more and rely on just my cane for uneven ground, I am able to drive again as I can tell what pedals my feet are on in the car, and I don't need help going up and down stairs as my motor skills and leg strength are back. Hair has started growing back on my legs! I can't say that this treatment will have as much a positive effect on you as it did for me, but I am so very thankful for the patience, understanding and assistance provided to me every step of the way by the rebuilder people. The price differences you saw are probably because there are two different rebuilder models, I think the differences between the two are based on the severity and locations of the problems. When I got my rebuilder i purchased the larger one it was $699 and the smaller one was $399. I had to go back on line and purchase some more of the self adhesive pads, and I did see where the larger one is now $799 and the smaller one is $499. I think I saw a website or two offering it as well with maybe some sort of discount, but I don't know if the return guarantee and all the phone assistance is still available from these other vendors. I had to work extensively with the rebuilder people for help, and they really took time with me. I had a 60 day return guarantee, but it was evident in the first few weeks that I was not going to need to take advantage of that. If I were you I would give them a call. From what I can tell from the people I spoke with there, there isn't a neuropathy condition or cause about which they cannot talk. Anyway, may you be blessed in your search for help and relief. I hope all turns out well for you.
Peter.
