At night time is the worst. I have actually touched the bottoms of my feet to see if they are burning up. As some one else said I love to rub them on a rouhg or slightly rough surface to help but sometimes it makes it worse because then I can't stop. At times I have stuck my feet out from under the covers until I am about to finally drift into sleep and then pull in under the covers. I can't believe what it is about lying down that makes it so. If I have to get up to the bathroom there is no pain but lie down and there it is again. I also take Klonopin for it and it is a lot better, not gone but better.
