I decided to try a tens unit treatment to see if it would help with my skin symptoms (burning, tingling, stinging etc). I tried it on my left arm (from elbow to fingers) for about 10 minutes with really low frequences.
Well, my arm didn't like that - at all. It just got worse. In fact, now after 3 WEEKS my arm is still worse than it was before the treatment. And my wrist hurts too, it didn't hurt at all before the treatment. So the electricity irritated that too.
So it seems that my body can't tolerate electricity at all. My hair test showed that I'm high in copper so I'm wondering if that could have something to do with it.
Any similar experiences or ideas what could have happened? Luckily I didn't take that treatment on other body parts.
Thanks

I found abx were the only thing that helped the burning from Lyme & Bart.
The TENS helped my sciatica and physiological back, neck & shoulder pain, but not Lyme related neuropathy.
