Have you tried an antihistamine? A strong one like Benadryl or Zyrtec? That seems to help me when I am ill. Its been a while for me... when I increased my Vit D...I stopped getting colds/flu.
I still get allergies however.

I did try the benadryl, once before bed last night and again this afternoon after school. It definitely made me sleep very soundly. It may have improved the pain, but the effect was not long-lasting. I had an hour or two of lessened symptoms, but the burning and sensitivity is back already, and about the same.
My students said something very funny this morning and I reflexively slapped my thigh. I almost screamed, the pain was excruciating!
BGT 1121, please keep us informed about your daughter. It sounds as if she has a hereditary neuropathy as well, and I am very curious how they will view her skin sensitivity. I was not expecting this symptom, certainly not this suddenly and severely.
