Oh man I am so sorry you are having such a rough time. I don't have any suggestions. I am still recovering from what I think is the worst flare I can remember having, on top of severe PMS. I have some Lidocaine creme that my doc prescribed me that i use on my hands, and a couple of smaller areas, which helps quite a bit though it doesn't smell real pretty or last very long. I hope you get some relief soon .
