All I know for sure now is that they're a "pile on" feature. I never have them when my other symptoms aren't bad, and they're never stand-alone.
Patrick, do you have lidocaine patches for your feet? I find they really do help.

NO, but I am getting there. My experience with anything like that is that once the patch or cream wears off the pain comes back seemingly harsher. I keep saying to myself that I have to just give up potatoes completely. Cant seem to do that. I kicked cigarettes and aspartame years ago and they were hard to kick, but potatoes? Its probably the hardest of anything I can think of. So tasty, so good. And its not like corn or peas are any kind of alternative. All the starchy veggies aggravate my SFN. But, I guess the body will force you to eventually.
