Complete loss of sensation
Burning pain
Bee stings
Pins and Needles
Tingling
Normal sensation

What are your experiences and ideas?

TIA
My experience is this:
First came tingling and numbness that happens from sitting, being slightly cold, it happens to my hands, arms legs, butt, and groin area. This has spread and become worse. Some days are much better than others with this.
Next came shooting deep nerve pains all over. Sometimes its a throbbing/ pulsing and sometimes a shooting- like when the dentist hits a nerve with the drill.
Then came the burning. My burning has been the least of my problems. I can imagine that some people have that more often and more severely.
Then came the stinging.
Now I have a combination of all of it, but haven't lost sensation anywhere permanently. Parts that go numb come back with tingling and then normal sensation.

Have you lost sensation anywhere?
