The bath felt strange on my feet and then shortly after when I got into bed, my legs were on fire! I'm wondering if the capascin on my feet from the morning was not a good mix with the warm water and set me off? It didn't happen last night (but I was terrified to take a bath so......) I just got the rest of the painful symptoms, but was thankful that the burning was not another permanent situation.
I have what they think is acute onset SFN in my whole body. Baths were fine at the beginning, but after a few months caused more issues. Often times I would be exposed to a stimulus (like warm/hot water) and several hours to several days later I would have high levels of pain and burning that caused me to consider going to the ER. It is debilitating for sure. And I consider myself to be a very tough woman!
