My husband has these, he recently visited the VA and they tell him there is a medication that will help, if you e mail me privately, I will give you the name. As for cutting, perhaps the Accuquilt would be a good answer for you although I personally do not like it I can see where it could be a real plus for someone with your condition as I see what my husband struggles with on a daily basis, he has had them for about 10 years.
