If you dont mind me asking. what are your symtoms of your SNN and are you taking anything for your pain or healing?
Did you have thyroid symptoms besides neuropathic pain?
Thank you in advance..best of luck to you too!!

Yes they did but the irony was everything came back normal expect white blood cell count was high --they brushed it off-- to I must be fighting a cold. I had pain in my feet and legs tingling and sometimes I felt pain in the bones of my tower leg tibula area. The other symptom was I felt so itchy my legs but mainly my back. No rash-- but it felt like posion ivy. Once I got biopsy confirmed it they put me on Topomax and lidocane patches that helped alot.My doc re-ran blood test after diagnosed and that when the thyroid number had changed and both dr felt this may be the cause. Since my SFN--I had melanoma in the same leg discovered 18 months later and few years after that I had neck fusion. I felt very sad because I was always very active and fit my whole life and thing seem to spiral out of control. Maybe that to much information but I thought I would share my story.
