We are trying to find out if there is a top-notch neuropathy clinic in the USA (Mayo clinic, Johns Hopkins or other top clinic) that might be able to help him.
He is extremely desperate from having pain 24 hours/day and now he's talking about going to Amsterdam where assisted suicide is legal in Europe, so he is truly at the end of his rope.
If anyone out there has ideas on where we could look for some help in the U.S. we would appreciate it so much. Thanks for any information you can share.

Hi Jeff, The laws here in the US have been restricting Drs from prescribing pain drugs that have the opiates. You might need to find Italy's version of PM. You could go to the best of the best clinics and still be out in the cold as far as relief. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.
