Default Absolutely terrified, looking for advice

Hi everyone,

I found this forum while looking for advice on my condition and it seems like you guys know more about nerve issues then any other place, I would really appreciate some help.

I'm a 23 years old and 4 months ago I started experiencing sunburn like pain all over my body besides the palms and feet, which was aggravated every time I took my adderall prescribed for adhd (which I since stopped for 3 weeks with no improvement).

Other symptoms I've been having, the fingertips on my right hand have become swollen, red and painful and I've been getting a really bad case of hot red burning ears almost every night.
The skin on my face has become dry and flaky and my mouth has also become dry.
As far as I know the fingertips, ears and dry skin aren't common neuropathy symptoms but the doctor didn't pay much attention to that.

I was diagnosed by a neurologist with having nerve pain symptoms but no underlying issue.
All tests he gave me (emg, ncs, autoimmune, celiac) came back fine besides low folic acid and 219 b12 pmol/l, (which I've been taking a 1000mg supplement for 3 months but so far no luck).
He also prescribed tegretol which does nothing but get me to bed early.

I'm absolutely devastated by this, If anyone's got any suggestions as to what this might be, any tests I should take or supplements I should try, I would really appreciate it. I can really use some advice right now.
