How many punch biopsies were done on you in the end - just the one? Hope I haven't offended my GP by querying but I don't want to have bits gauged out as just a tick boxing exercise. I'm really hoping that after two years it has all just gone away suddenly now as third night of not having to wake and spray hands and feet with magnesium oil to cool my peripheries down! Or alternatively maybe the B12 tablets are at last doing something?

Thanks for your help.
Ps GP responded that he would take two biopsies at least - but no guarantees the histology will be useful of course.
