Well, you just discovered how easy it is to assume that because something did (did not) work for someone else, that it will work (not work) for you. I pretty much assumed that -- if both of us had the same disease.

Actually, it turns out that much more of medicine is that way than commonly assumed. In any event, you have now had your own demonstration of why each person with PN has to try those things that make sense, regardless of someone else's response to any given therapeutic treatment.

Sometimes I am almost reluctant to post some of my own responses to things I have tried . . . especially if the result has been negative. While we can certainly learn things from other's reactions to various things -- the most important thing, whether we will get benefit, is impossible to learn.

Anyway, I am glad you found something else that helps with the burning. And it might be a good idea to have something else ready to try in case the Freez-it stops being effective.
