I'm sorry, I don't remember who has what here...just don't have good memory retention for that kind of stuff. There are posters here with it, as here is where I learned about it, many moons ago. Maybe start a thread on allodynia and see what kind of responses you get.

I have a mild case of it...it waxes and wanes. But sometimes the lightest touch on my lower legs feels like a knife taking off the top layer of skin. Right now, it's not that bad...I think because the IVIG I get is helping it (along with my SFN).

I think Glenntaj may have some info on it.

The most common treatment is the same as for SFN (Neurontin, Lyrica, etc), since it typically results from SFN with damage to those small unmyelinated fibers.

Have you tried the biofreeze? It is OTC and has been known to help with the burning from SFN.
