I have burning pain in my legs that isn't affected by anything touching it. I've had this for over six months now and am on meds at night to help with it.

But now since yesterday, I feel like I have a sunburn on my back. It's not as bad if nothing is touching it, but as soon as anything (even a breeze) touches my back it feels like I have a bad sunburn. It's driving me nuts! I think this is the only time I have ever wished that I could be a nudist. Even my bra and shirt make it hurt. Unfortunately the Gabapentin I take doesn't help and I can't take it during the day anyway.

I really want a sick day so that I can just lay in bed all day. But as a stay-at-home Mom I don't get those.

Okay I'm done whining now and I will get back to housework. Just needed to vent for a minute.

I've had those burning/itchy/can't stand clothes touching, feelings. Some peep find the Neurontin helped, but it didn't help me?

I sometime use clear Caladryl (A clear calamine gel) and it helps some.

Just another little perk of MS, we have to endure.

Lose the bra.

Try some benadryl.

you might want to talk to your dr about changing the med you're on.
maybe something else will be better.

I too have found the burning pain intolerable. Many times simply laying in bed with a sheet over me, or worse, no sheet and the ceiling fan blowing on my skin.

The ultimate, taking any kind of shower. As soon as the water hits my skin it is just as you describe, having a severe sunburn on the torso and back regardless of water temperature.

I've yet to find a med that helps especially as my neurological disease (not MS) progresses involving my arms, hands, and feet, constantly burning. Feet feel like I'm walking on burning sand at the beach.

Sorry! Didn't mean to complain but this post struck a "burning" cord with me so I responded.
