I can finally sleep...
“HFX for PDN is my best friend,” said Mindy, who finally found relief from 15 years of diabetic neuropathy pain.
“My pain had a huge impact on my life,” Mindy explained. “I wasn’t able to go out and do things with my boys when they were growing up as other parents did. And when family members invited us to events, I would have to say ‘No’ because my feet hurt so much. I felt hopeless.”
Mindy’s pain would start in her back and radiate to her hips, legs, feet and toes. “My feet tingled and burned all the time and I felt as though there were a hundred knives digging into them,” Mindy recalled. “I could only sleep for two to three hours at night.
Mindy got almost immediate relief when she followed Dr. Kasra Amirdelfan’s advice to do an HFX trial in Dec 2019. Since getting her implant in Jan 2020 Mindy has had 100% pain relief and no longer requires any pain medications.
“With HFX I can sleep at least eight hours and I’m ready to take on the day when I wake up,” Mindy said. “I’m able to enjoy cooking again and I can be active with my granddaughter and my kids. Everyone is a lot happier with who I am now, including me.”

I am a happy, active man again
“I am a happy, active man again,” said James. “With HFX for PDN my diabetic neuropathy pain has decreased from a Level 7-10 to an average of Level 3 . . . and it’s often lower than that.”
For 6 years James suffered with excruciating diabetic neuropathy that began in his back and eventually migrated through his shoulders and stomach to his feet. “The pain was so intense that I would cry and scream,” James recalled. “When it reached my feet, the stabbing and burning was horrible. I reached a point where I was in bed and inactive for a year and lost 80 pounds.”
James says he saw at least a half dozen doctors who were baffled by his condition and prescribed pain medications, which he described as a “bandaid fix.” Finally, James consulted Dr. Fran Broyles. This led to his HFX for PDN trial in June 2018 and implant procedure in July 2018, both performed by Dr. Cong Yu.
“With HFX I am golfing, fishing, camping and enjoying my kids & grandkids again and pursuing my biggest passion: landscaping and maintaining our 5-acre property, which has ponds, a waterfall and fish. I couldn’t do any of that before my implant,” James said.

I feel like I have a future!
Now that HFX for PDN has reduced the debilitating effects of painful diabetic neuropathy in his feet and legs, Neil’s state of mind has been transformed from depression to exhilaration.
Neil’s pain began about seven years ago. “It felt as though I was walking on two bricks and the pain that shot up through my legs was unbearable,” Neil recalled. “I was even afraid to drive because I couldn’t feel the bottom of my feet.”
“Eventually I had to stop working,” Neil said. “I couldn’t play with my grandchildren and was constantly having to turn down invitations because of my pain.”
Pain medications weren’t helpful & had so many side effects that Neil says they weren’t worth taking. “I felt as though I was just stuck living with the pain,” he said. Then Dr. Michael Creamer suggested an HFX trial, which took place in early Feb 2019, followed by Neil’s HFX implant later that same month.
“My whole perspective on life has changed,” Neil said. “I sleep through the night now and wake up with things to look forward to. I can drive, work a few days a week, enjoy my grandkids and be a productive member of society. It’s exhilarating!”

Have questions about HFX?
The Patient Ambassador Program gives you the opportunity to have candid, one-on-one discussions with people who are using HFX to manage their painful diabetic neuropathy. These people are all volunteers who can share their personal experiences with HFX with you and answer your questions.
If you provide your phone number in the assessment, when you have your free consultation with an HFX CoachTM, you can ask to be connected with an ambassador after your initial consultation with an HFX-trained doctor to determine if you’re a good candidate.
