My skin burning pain hasn't been this bad in years!!!! I don't know what has really set it off. I am burning right now from head to toe!!!!! Im crying, scared, in pain, you name it. I don't even know how to help it get better or if there is anything at all that does help!!
What am I going to do?

Sorry to hear that you are in so much pain. Have you tried Lyrica??
I take it and have almost no neropathies on it. It was a little hard to get used to but now I love it!

I have an appt in one hour-fortunately my lmd is right down the street and he happened to have a cancellation. I hope he can help!

Nancy,
Please let us know what he says. I am on fire all the time - non-stop for five years. Recently I had to go off antibiotics for several weeks and the intensity of the nerve pain is the worst in years. I understand how unbearable it is.

i was thinking of you just a few weeks ago, wondering how things were going.
I hope you get some relief.
maybe neurontin or lyrica.

I saw my dr and he did a big detox. Tonight my skin still feels like burnt leather. So, I am now trying Lyrica and we will see if that helps at all.
Man I hate this stupid disease!
