Hi there @mamabear143,

Thanks for getting back to me. I am glad you are getting the punch biopsy. And yes, there can be three areas for testing. It may not be discovered in all three areas which is then worth discussing with your clinician. And I certainly understand how debilitating SFN pain can be. I have been vacationing at a lake with the family and it has been sticky hot some days.. I had to miss both my MFR sessions this week and the pain was quite unnerving.

So I resorted to my best pain medication, sleep medication, and the only one that can knock that tingle, tangle stuff for a loop and that is medical cannabis. I have controlled the SFN pain and other SFN symptoms completely with a 1:1 CBD/THC tincture for about five years now. I can adjust the dosage to whatever the situation demands. What a relief.

The only Rx I use is Duloxetine (Cymbalta) in the morning. That keeps my anxiety under control which is important because anxiety begets pain which begets more anxiety and on and on.

Would you consider or have you tried medical cannabis?
May you be safe, free, and protected from inner and outer harm.
Chris
