Thanks for the 411, Grouch.

FSS bothered me a lot for the first year or so -- it was the first symptom I recall manifesting. By the time the burning began, I had been to a podiatrist (no help at all -- just wrapped my feet in duct tape and told me to leave it on for a week... didn't do squat) and the neurology route that wrote me off with a scrip for gabby. Right about the time I broke down and took the first gabby, I also got ahold of some RLA, and within 48 hours the burning was gone. Since then I've tried other supplements as recommended here, but the only one that's made a difference for me I found on my own - pantothenic acid (B5). Over time, the shocks, cramps, and FSS have all lessened, but never gone completely. So I can pretty well attribute it to time, RLA, B5 or a combination of 2 or all of them.

Just my $.02
