Mine started as a sharp burning sensation in my upper middle back. I then felt a strip of burning down my inner left leg. From there it spread all over my body in a matter of six weeks.

My worse areas are my back, stomach, knees and lower legs. I also have it to a painful but still lesser degree in my feet, arms, and hands. I am seven months into the disease and at present I have no numbness or muscle weakness.....yet.

What makes me feel better:

Distraction and keeping busy. Walking around.

Better weather. High pressure and low pressure systems affect me.

Warm baths or showers.

Using a cooling gel such as Calendula gel. Very soothing.

I also take 1800 mg. of Gabapentin and Vicodin as needed. The Vicodin helps more then the Gabapentin.
