Started about a year ago as a sensitivity on my upper arms and is now mostly burning pain on right forearm down into pinky finger, on inner thighs and now buttocks. I have had spinal tap to rule out MS, and puncture to confirm small fiber neuropathy. I am taking 2400 mg. neurontin daily and cymbalta and while they help, they are not getting rid of it and it seems to be getting worse. My lyme dr. feels that it is bartonella causing the burning skin and I am now treating for that to see if we can get it that way. Who knows? I am at wits end.
