Sometimes I find that when this is happening to me, I can 'trick' my brain by wearing firm/tight socks. My neuro says this is because it 'fools' the pain gatway that is sending the signals.

Glad you are feeling better now. You live and learn

Think that's what is happening when I when I wear socks on cold feet. Rather than the thickest socks being best, I have a pair of short tight ones that seem to work better. Isn't it nice to be qualified by a neurologist?

My dad used to have trouble with his feet burning at night. After a lot of puzzled doctors he found one that said it was from exposure to herbicides. He farmed for many, many years. He never found a real solution.

Have you had any exposure to herbicides?

Best wishes.

Calcium reduces burning in feet. Last night awake until 3 AM with burning feet. No spasms or jerking, just burning. I had not had a chance to take my full daily calcium quota, so I got up and took one. Slept six hours, no burning on awakening. Of course now that I'm up I can start the use-burning cycle all over again.
Sparky, I agree that life is a lemon and I do want my money back, but I am grateful to have had my husband for 40 years, and some sort of a life back then. It's all lemon now, and no sugar available for making lemonade

Ack! Burning feet doesn't sound pleasant Dej. I hope the feet are feeling better now and you're not in a flare.

Hope your weather's cooling down a bit as well. If you're like I am, the cooler temperatures help my symptoms calm down dramatically, however the transition period from summer to autumn can be quite brutal flip flopping back and forth from heat to cold.

I gots an Idea. You know how Noxema burns when you first put it on and then cools. I used it years ago on nasty sunburns. It seemed to work to cool the burning. Worth a try? it stinks though..

Don't use it for BMS though..

Tiger Balm (the white one) might also do the trick as it contains menthol and camphor; both of which impart a powerful cooling sensation. It outstinks Noxema though .

Just had to jump in here saying Hi as I am new and searching around.
Got a rush seeing "MEATLOAF" on here. Haven't heard their name for a good while.
Those were the Good days. Hope this finds you having an easy day too.
God bless and keep us strong. Peace & LUV, Andrea

Saw Meatloaf in concert 2 times back in the day. Have a good one.

I have lived with RSD for the last 21 yrs. Have a cousin with MS 32 yrs.
