For Peripheral Neuropathy "Although I was informed about this treatment and how your body might react to it, my case spiraled out of hand. It was applied to the thorax wand. Of course, different patients react differently. The medics had to call a team to manage my situation. The pain was so much that without a shred of doubt, words simply cannot explain. The options to help me out were fentanyl or anesthesia to help me cope with the situation. Two days since the happening, I still literally ask my attendees if it was a dream."

For Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy "Had it done as my feet felt like I was walking on glass. Took 20 minutes before it started to work. Finally, it did. Now just some aching pain, no glass feeling. What a relief it is. No problems after the first treatment. Hope to say the same after the second treatment. Going on Tuesday for the second treatment. Maybe hoping for too much, but looking for a little more relief."

For Peripheral Neuropathy "Qutenza really does work. I did have very intense burning for 15 mins for four days. You should never shower or touch the area with water for 48 hrs. The pain can be mind-blowing, but it does subside, and a cool fan helps. Don't let your pets near the area, as it will burn them. I have had multiple Qutenza treatments, and it isn't 3 months before it works. It works straight away, it lasts up to 3 months plus. Don't apply it yourselves, use a health professional, as it does burn."

For Peripheral Neuropathy "Well, I had this treatment about 2 years ago now - I was told it was a very new treatment and only one use of it would provide permanent benefits and that it often gave back sensation to extremities in peripheral neuropathy - for me, this was not the case. It was in a sheet format, a specialized nurse was doing the treatment, cutting into this single sheet by aseptic technique and extra gloves - the stinging that it caused to both my hands, as in fingers and everywhere the Qutenza touched, spent the next 3 days virtually in the bath as skin was burning in pain. Now, pain I can feel, unlike even touch seems out of reach - apparently it takes up to 3 months to work - oh yeah, and it is made from capsicum - [chillies]."
