Nothing yet in terms of relieving symptoms...I have been more mellow lately, maybe the gaba, maybe the resignation. Scalp is burning more...so hopefully this thing does not progress more...hey, there is not that many more areas that it can go! I am waiting for results of skin biopsy, then will meet with the King of Periphereal Neuropathy at Weil Cornell. He wears a crown and everything.

Until then, it is all just:

LOL!! The fire I can relate to. My feet are on fire right now. It comes and goes. Hopefully they'll be able to pinpoint the problem for you.

For me I couldn't take Gabapentin. It made me suicidal. I take 1- 50mg Tramadol a day and when I need it, .125 of Mirapex. Works like a charm. Tramadol works very well on nerve pain for me. Nothing else mutes it in quite the same way. The Mirapex gets rid of many of the other symptoms, the creepy-crawly-gotta-move-my-legs feeling as well as some of the tingling and other symptoms. Mute seems to be a very good way of describing it as well.

I do have pain free days from time to time.

You've found a very good place to be, here on this board. I had no real progress in treatment or what to do, how to handle it all until I found this 'place'.
