Samantha (love that name!!) and I too am sorry you have full body!! I see from your profile that you are a pastry chef . are you able to enjoy doing some baking? I'm no pastry chef but I sure enjoy eating it!

Thanks for the info on Mexilitine - that is also the goal for me to calm the nerves where the injuries are which is right in my groin crease since even breathing makes these nerves fire.. They also say that lidocain and Mexilitine help with cold induced electrical shocks & sensitivity; has that been true for you? Assuming you have those same symptoms when cold air hits your body or your limb gets cold from the lack of blood flow? Sorry if I am being to nosy, its just that my doctor mentioned very few are prescribed this particular medication so I was happy to see you were on it so you could give me your personal feedback.

Thank you so much for sharing!
Tessa
