Lightbulb Thiamine...

I'll repeat what I have discovered. Thiamine really works for burning.
200-300 mg/day in divided doses for one month, is worth trying.
It is very inexpensive, at any drugstore.

Also the magnesium connection is important for diabetics, who lose it thru the urine. Magnesium closes the NMDA pain channels, and reduces pain.

Burning comes and goes for me. It is worse when the weather is warm, can be triggered by MSG in food, or histamine containing foods. (old fish--tomato sauces). If fish is not very fresh the bacteria on it create histamine which can lead to skin burning.

Using a menthol containing rub (like Biofreeze or IcyHot) helps many, but does not change the CAUSE of the burning.
