Thank you for the article.
I have a list from the SCN9A but cant find the important SNPs. There are about 50 listed in my raw data. I joined 23 and me after the FDA debacle and was trying to figure out my situation before I had to fork out major cash for more lab work.

I hope someone is in the know.

I can also PM my raw data to anyone interested.

TIA

Are you able to post or PM the information about this?

Thank you so much for responding and helping me.

Hi baba222

"I can also PM my raw data to anyone interested."

If you would like to I would be happy to have a look round and see what I can come up with (no promises).

Hi Baba - I had the SCN9A test done in Ohio. The test was after a meeting with a genetic counselor in the neurology dept at OSU who I was referred to by my main neurologist. It was a blood draw here too - they took two vials I believe and then the results were given to me about 8 weeks later (I don't have the mutation so still idiopathic for me) - hope this helps!

Thanks so much. Sounds like I will have to go thru some hoops. Was trying to do it and maybe figure it out on the cheap.

Take care.
:hug:

I sent you a PM.

Thank you so much!

Hi baba222

PM'd you - my impression is that you don't have anything to stress about :).

So what happens if one has this mutation? A little research showed up that it can cause 30% of SFN. So is the idea here (via the article linked to) that finding how to block this mutation will resolve the SFN?

I share the concern re blocking all pain. That could be immensely dangerous for a variety of reasons.
