Default New Symptoms???

Hi all, well, now that the warm weather is here, so is the heat, and new sypmtoms! I thought this was just something associated with menopause, but now I realize, it's a Neuropathy thing.
Throughout the winter, as I would get too warm, I would get a tingling in the middle of my back, between my shoulder blades. Like I was breaking out with heat rash or something... then it would burn. Because it's such a hard place to reach I would just let it burn.
Now that I can actually reach that part of my skin through my collar (no more high necked shirts and jackets), today it was burning, so I reached back to scratch it and there is a large patch in the center of my back now, about 6 inches by 6 inches that is numb!! Right where it's been burning off and on all winter!

I've had sypmtoms in my face, my upper arms, my legs, but usually it stays in my hands and feet. This is the first time it's stayed focused in an area other than my feet for a considerable amount of time. Enough time to cause the nerve endings to die.

Has anyone else experienced symptoms like this? Does it seem to move around like this? I know from being a member for a long time that everyone is different... but usually after a while everyone's symptoms settle into a pattern. This is just a new pattern for me. I've also got a lot of nausea lately too.

Hey Deborah, does this sound familiar to you?
