Thank you for the suggestion. In NY you need to find an MD that's specifically licensed to prescribe medical marijuana. I will certainly consider that. For some reason I slept last night with minimal symptoms. Do others experience nights that differ with no known difference in your routine that day? My symptoms are just ice cold feet and legs with no pain, tingling or anything else.

Now that cannabis is legal in NY I’d think it maybe more physicians will become licensed. I think also, more doctors are becoming aware of its benefits, especially for sleep and pain reduction.

I find my symptoms vary in severity daily, although everything is always worse in the evening. And, if I’ve done a lot of lifting, garden work, etc., they’re also consistently worse. Some symptoms, particularly sharp stabbing pain in my feet and legs, disappears for a time and then reappears. I’ve not been able to determine a correlating cause. I do not yet know the type of neuropathy I have, however. Although, the autoimmune disease I have causes both SFN and PN.
