Have you ever tried discontinuing it for a time to see if you still need it?

Just kidding about ruining my day......guessing I need to research the Atenolol then....I can just add that to the diabetes and chemo as part of the cause of my SFN.
Never thought about going off of it......might place a call to my PCP and see what she thinks. I've always been really bad about 'just listening' to dr's and not making any of my own decisions until this last year when all this wonderful stuff started happening to me 
Thanks for the info.
