Lightbulb Alka Seltzer...

If you are allowed to have aspirin (no drug contraindications like blood thinners etc)

Try original formula (with aspirin) AlkaSeltzer. I find it removes severe burning attacks for me.

The combination of bicarb with the aspirin blocks the histamine receptors for a while. The burning does return when it wears off, but it can work for a a whole day for me from one dose.

I discovered this when I was on Glucophage, and used the AlkaSeltzer for blocking the diarrhea that this drug causes, and discovered it blocked the burning feet too.
