Default Just Wondering

I was diagnosed with idiopathic peripheral neuropathy in March of this year. (I was prescribed 300 mg of Lyrica in addition to the Zoloft and Celebrex I am already taking for fibromyalgia and arthritis.) All tests results have been "normal" except for the EMG and nerve conduction. The severe shocking pains in my feet and hands have abated for the most part, but I have these "zaps and sparks" in feet, ankles, hands and wrists. The tops of my feet burn and the bottoms have this buzzing feeling. When I explained to the neuro that I get these pinching and zaps all over (like in my face, eyelids, neck, armpits, forearms, thighs and hips) he looked at me like I was crazy. He wanted to blame that on my fibromyalgia and suggested I see a rheumatologist.

My question is...does anyone else experience these symptoms? I didn't feel that the neuro and I connected very well. I'm going to another one on the 22nd at the suggestion of my PCP.
