It isnt the prickly, burning pain that I have in my feet. It is more like the skin itself is itching.
I didnt really think anything about it to be honest, but as it hasnt got any better, I just wondered if it could be connected to the PN.

My PN symptoms started as severe itching all over my body. At first, I thought it was an allergy but there was no visible marks in my skin, no redness, no bumps, nothing but itching. Later on, the itching became pain, prickly and stabbing pins and needles. And slowly, the pain in my feet developed.
I am on gabapentin and on some days somehow it weans the unpleasant sensation but not the pain in my feet which goes up to my knees. I am okay now because I dont wear pants or long sleeves. I dread the coming winter (not the winter per se) but the thought of wearing the thick clothes.
I hope your itching is just temporary.
