hi all.

I have now had 19 qutenza treatments, for many years ti have had it at 80 odd days. It has meant that a it of pain kicks in but not to a 10. I have been fighting for months as I will not be giving it till 90 days. Imy pain gets so bad by his time. I struggle to do anything. Done at 80 days I recover quick and become pain. Does anyone else have this treatment,? where do you get it? What else do you use along side his treatment?

thanks for sharing. Do you recommend the treatment. I asked about it. At the moment using cocodamol and amytriptomine. Pain is bad. Hope to try qutenza soon.

it was giving me my life back. I was on the trial. Its a painful treatment that works best with hyper conditions more than other pain conditions
