I have been experiencing a lot of stinging and cold sensations in my right leg. To the point it has been making me cold. That deep in the bone cold! My skin has become sensitive on that leg.

When I get the stinging and prickly feeling. It actually makes my skin hurt because it is so sensitive. The goosebumps make me feel like I am beeing stung by thousands of bees. [Eek!]

Although the skin feels cold, when I touch it ...it is not. It has been driving me crazy. I bought a little herbal pad that I can heat up in the microwave. I put it between the thighs and covered my legs with a blanket.

I figured by trapping the heat in, it would make me warmer. I also figured it would calm down the nerves. It seemed to help some.

Has anyone ever treated their inflammation with mangosteen? I just started drinking it two days ago. It is a brand by xango.
www.xango.com

Their are several other fruits that are high in antioxidants. Such as blueberries, cherries and acai. Although they do not hold the anti inflammitory properties that the mangosteen does. I am just curious.

I also get the cold sensation in my right forearm. Also stinging and prickly feeling in my face as well. Along with itcy skin.

The palms of my hands and my fingers were itching like CRAZY! [dizzy]

As well as my legs. I had to look for hives but there weren't any. It was driving me crazy.

Burning neuropathy throughout my entire body has been one of my worst symptoms for five years. I have been on Xango for about four years because my former Lyme naturopath recommended it, and also one of my current Lyme doctors does.

However, nothing has significantly reduced the neuropathy (I have been on Lyme, Bart and Ehrlichia treatment so far).

I keep taking Xango because it is so highly recommended, however it has not personally addressed my inflammation issues.

I want to try something like Wobenzyme or some herbal anti-inflammatories such as turmeric, however I have a hard time tolerating many things.
