And I was also sent to the neurologist and gave me a nerve conduction test which came out normal and showed no findings of peripheral neuropathy or any other emg findings on the test and suggested I begin taking a multivtamin, which I haven't done. But I was sent to a dermatologist about 8 months ago and 6 months ago determined that I had extremely dry skin as well dermatitis. And the next appointment the dryness was getting a little better but I was still having horrible pain. So, the pain she believed was coming from the allodynia and gave me a prescription of gabapentin for 300 mg tablets to take 1 to 3 times a day. as well as giving me lidocaine patches and I've consistently done the gabapentin but not consistently the lidocaine patches as well as keeping up with moisturizing my skin.
