Is that you Abishek, from the future? :)

Thank you for your kind words. I can visualise what you had to go through. I share mutual respect and wishes for your recovery or should I say 'Management of our conditions'.

>I still experience various neurological issues for which they can't trace

The main issue I had (Tingling on the Face) has been successfully resolved after the surgery. Any other discomfort I had has been largely due to anxiety and post-traumatic stress from surgery, loosing my hard earned startup etc.

So targeted efforts in bringing down the anxiety helps me a lot[Staying in present, taking lesser sensory inputs(had dozens of phone calls earlier, now its zero phone calls, only email].

Side note: Does wearing hear rate monitor on the wrist, like Fitbit/Apple watch hurt you after 15-30 mins?[1].

Thanks for your kind words.

I do not wear fitness trackers. That's a very strange issue. I see you outlined wearing it too tight or EM sensitivity, but there's a couple of other things: heat and sweat. Both of these things are known to play unkindly with nerve damage. For example, I get pins and needles when I sit in the sun. I get a burning nerve pain when I sweat from exercise.


Thanks for letting me know. Since the tingling starts within 15 - 30 mins even in cold conditions, I don't think sweat had a role to play (but I will keep this in mind).

The article I attached has highest number of visitors since I published, several people have also asked me the reason for it. Unfortunately, it often gets dismissed as wearing it too tight and I have definitely proven that it's not the case with me.

I'm planning a blind test with an elaborate setup to conclusively prove that heart rate monitor is hurting me and others; perhaps then we could proceed to find why.
