Good afternoon @femuchay. And since we just met, I would like to welcome you to Connect. You can bring your SFN with you and we’ll see what can be done to mitigate your life of chronic pain. I need some help first.,,,,in your post you write, “Sensation from head to toe.” Can we zero in on that word “sensation”. Are you aware of and bothered by these sensations? How would you describe them......hot, cold, burning, stinging, tingling, resistant, numb? Is your pain like a punch, a bruise? Does your pain wake you up in the morning? Keep you from sleeping at night?

So far, what is helping you the most.......and what would be most beneficial to have at your finger tips?

I so just wilt when I read a post like yours. I want to reach out and gently hold your arm. When I told someone that my feet often feel like they are wrapped in some kind of frozen oil? It runs up my leg and then back down to my toes. So, today it is snowing and maybe around zero. My feet, when a cold dash hits, would fit right in.

My SFN has been a part of my life for four years. I would be happy to share some of my “magic tricks”. I just wish I had some. This is a difficult challenge. And on Connect are many wonderful patients and caregivers to cheer you on. We cannot diagnose or prescribe. We can share our experiences because we have been there.

May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering..
Chris
