I have been getting a burning skin sensation throughout my entire body for 5 years. It burns mostly in my back and neck area but I can feel it throughout my entire body. It seems to be worse in warmer weather. I have been prescribed a lot of medications and nothing has worked. I just started using a b12 supplment 5000mcg daily by jarrow and for the first time I have seen some relief in the burning. Does anyone have any suggestions about approaching the burning skin.
Thanks Andrew |

Hi Andrew, Welcome.
I had burning pain associated with peripheral neuropathy. Since I began taking 100 mg of R-lipoic acid (RLA)/day, the burning pain ceased, and only returns if I stop taking the RLA for a few days. RLA has also been found effective for some people with burning mouth syndrome. It might be worth a try; if it doesn't help within a few weeks, it probably won't. If it can't hurt to try it, then it can't hurt to try it. Doc

I'm not particular about brands, as long as they're known to me as reputable. I buy whatever brand I can get the best deal on at the time of ordering (it's a highly competitive business/market, so deals/sales are common). I would just make sure it's the stabilized form of RLA as it's less sensitive to humidity, and is allegedly better absorbed. There's a thread about it here: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread130991.html Doc
