Any suggestions or advice would be so appreciated!
If you haven't tried these yet...
Take the niacin at bedtime, with 1 aspirin or 500 mg vitamin C. Either of these should help reduce any niacin flushing that may contribute/exacerbate the burning sensation.

R-Lipoic Acid helps many folks with diabetic PN control/eliminate the burning. Even though your PN is different, I think it's worth a try.

You may find other supplements here.
