Your problems sound horrible. I commend you for fighting so long and hard. I have neuropathy in my feet that is getting better after having chemo for breast cancer. I had chilblains and my doctor started me on Nephedipine. Only one tablet stopped it and I had been having the problem for 20 years! Nephedipine is used for high blood pressure, which I had, so it was easy to keep killing 2 birds with one stone. My BP is totally normal now.

@raebaby Thank you for your kind words. Since my neuropathy journey post I have learned about Central Sensitization Syndrome which is an umbrella to my chronic pain and sensory issues, along with SFN. I attended Mayo Clinic's Pain Rehab Center last year and have learned how to better manage chronic conditions.

Wow, one pill stopped your Chilblains, that's awesome! I'm glad your BP is normal now too. How have you been handling your neuropathy symptoms? Are they still getting better?
