Wow. Joan.... anyone with EM should avoid Heat at all costs.
Have you read Dr. Jay Cohen MD?
He has this problem, and uses magnesium and a specific serotonin antihistamine antagonist from Canada for it.
Google Jay Cohen and EM.

I think HEAT of anyone with with PN or a variant, should be avoided.
RSD patients seem to seek heat for their neuropathy, but that is rather unique. Even my chiro told me to lose the heating pad!
