Thomas V., 64, retired accountant — Nashville, Tennessee
Thomas was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes at 57. He managed it carefully — diet, medication, regular checkups. What he wasn't prepared for was neuropathy.
"It came on gradually," he explains. "First it was just some tingling in my toes at night. I mentioned it to my doctor and he said it was common with diabetes. Then the tingling became burning. Then the burning became pain. Real pain — the kind that wakes you up at 2am and won't let you back to sleep."
His doctor adjusted his medication twice. The side effects were significant. The relief was not.
"I started doing my own research because I felt like I was running out of options," Thomas says. "I came across compression therapy for neuropathy and started reading about it. Most of what I found was about expensive clinical treatments. Then I found Relievo."
He was skeptical. He makes no attempt to hide that.
"I'm an accountant. I don't buy things based on websites. But they had a money back guarantee and at that point I figured — what's the risk?"
He wore them for the first time on a Tuesday night.
"Wednesday morning the burning was still there but it was quieter. Like someone had turned the volume down. I didn't want to get excited because I'd been disappointed before."
By the end of the first week Thomas was sleeping through the night consistently for the first time in over a year.
