I've had for over five years now....at first it was as if someone had a blow-torch to my feet/legs and hands! Cold was TOO cold, etc...felt like Goldilocks? What I've found to help, tho only a little has been cool [not cold] compresses or a spray bottle of tepid water. These two have worked the best for me when things 'rage'.

Mrs D is very right about Magnesium supplements, but I have to say that I tried the foot-bath thing and almost jumped out of what skin I have! I've super sensitive skin now and well, it did NOT like the attempt. Supplements are far safer to start on and work your way up on dose or down.

Melody, wasn't Alan's heavy metal testing a 24-hour Urine test? and, isn't that one of the first tests usually done for most neuropathies and other issues? [As a process for exclusions only]. I'm surprised that doctors took soo long to get to that one... I've had 3 of them over the years and nothing shows up....they also are of use for diagnosing a slew of other issues, I believe.

Hope this helps! - j
