My arms wrist and hands are agony my feet and ankles are getting worse, I am sleeping with ice packs to ease the burning, I am so tired.

This SFN is just so difficult to manage, I was just about doing ok on the carbamazepine but what can I do now?

Next neuro appt isn't until April next year
I'm so sorry to hear your feeling so bad. Can you email your neuro? Mine has a patient portal that I can message him though.

I'm not sure if you can take Elavil with your liver enzymes. I just started it and I think it helps a little. If nothing else it helps me sleep. You need rest! I'm always so much worse when I don't sleep!
