I am 59 yrs. old and have gone thru menopause already. Within the last 3 or 4 months I have started having burning on the soles of my feet, and also a weird sensation occasionally that I have stepped in ice cold water. I went to a podiatrist who sent me to a neurologist. The podiatrist has since given me a prescription for Neurontin and Metamx - he believes I have hormonal neuropathy. The Neurontin is similar to Lyrica but with fewer side effects, and the other is a mega dose of B6, B12 and folate. This is my 3rd day on the meds, so we will see. Never heard of hormonal neuropathy before. I also have burning on the roof of my mouth and tongue. Weird...
