My burning skin sensation started about 5 weeks ago. Started in my arms with a "prickly" feeling. Have searched the internet for answers and found NeuroTalk. I have an appointment with my doctor on Thursday. I have a history of cervical stenosis and shoulder issues. I do drink but have drastically reduced since the burning sensation started......although a class of wine or a rum and coke takes the feeing away completely. I also tried a xanax and that gave me complete relief. Has anyone started this journey with just the burning skin sensation? I am wondering if I am at the beginning stages of PN. Thank you.
