Some advice
Hey Kiwiboy
It sounds as if we could have been related wrt all our symptoms! I'm 32 and my symptoms have been going on for about 3 years now. I went through the whole range of tests, seeing specialist etc. Nothing helped. I had whole body burning and nobody could give me an answer. Then I went to see a physician nearby my home (he was a specialist physician). He went through my results and basically said I had "some" kind of neuropathic pain, but told me that it would be very unlikely that they would find out what the cause would be. (Since all my tests came back normal). He prescribed 50mg of amytreptilene and 0.5mg of clonazepam. Within a few days I could feel relief!!! The clonazepam worked very quickly and the elavil took about a month. Now I barely have any burning except if I am under severe stress.
Please speak to your doctor about these meds and give it a try. I couldn't take any other anti-depressants cause they made the burning worse.
