I am not sure whether to do this---I have made an appt. with my doctor in feb. to do it. I have stinging, burning, and often electrical type feelings everywhere but my chest and stomach. Often it is a pins and needles type feeling. I have been to 3 neurologists and have Been on gabapentin & valium with a year practically of improvement but I just recently relapsed and I feel like I am back to square one again.
Has this happened to anyone? Those of you with this how are you managing? Thanks for any information.

Hi Melodi,
I was just diagnosed with it and it still seems like back to square one. It is only a symptom of an underlying process, so personally I was more upset when I got the official "diagnosis". Its like getting an injury, going to the doctor and being told, "You are injured". Anyway, no matter how many doctors it takes, don't give up! I am managing by being hopeful and trying different things. This site is great and has such experienced people and great info. It helps so much to know your not alone.
