Thank you MrsD for all of your input. I do have one last question for you that I am hoping you can answer for me.

the PN in my hands is really weird, it isn't a numbness or loss of sensation so much, it happens randomly. Well, I used to think it was random but I have noticed lately that it happens after my hands get cold. My fingers turn almost white and then once they warm up, my fingers turn bright red and they hurt like hell. It's like a stinging, tingling, hyper sensitivity in my fingertips and my fingers burn. The uncomfortable sensations don't last too long, but it can linger a bit and have mini flare ups after.

It just happened after holding a glass of ice water and it happened yesterday after I went from my AC apartment into the humidity outside and it happened when I was out of town last week after I went swimming in a freezing cold lake.

Do you know much about this? Is this part of the PN too?
