Onset started in 2012 with strange feelings in feet and toes going numb in slightest cold. Then while on holiday in a hot country in 2013 it felt as though there were raindrops on my head an all over as i was walking. It was the hot air brushing against the skin which seemed to confuse the damaged nerve endings to thinking it was water? I then went to a Neurologist in 2014 who thought i had SFN as i had burning in toes sometimes. After he told me what he thought, i panicked and got really stressed out thinking of what might happen. Read lots of awful stories on the internet. This then proceeded with full body stinging and burning. This continued and took some medication Lyrica. However after 3 months, when i calmed down, the pain stopped and went away. This was about January 2015. It has calmed down alot since and i get occasional stabbing/burning. Nothing like back in 2014. He mentions Toxic neuropathy, i wonder if this could be what caused it?
