Hi, All... so, there's something new afoot and I'm wondering if anyone can offer some sound advice as my next neurology appointment is two months away. I've posted here before about the body wide neuropathy I have, but in the last couple weeks there's a new symptom: a sensation of heat on my forearms and forehead. I've had extremely bad burning everywhere for two years now, so this may seem like a distinction without a difference, but it is different. The burning is more of that intense sunburn feeling and this like an icy hot warmth or like my arm is near the stove top. Any thoughts?
Many Thanks, and blessings for the day.

Not sure what the question is. Neuropathy basically means disease or dysfunction of peripheral nerves, so many different kinds of false signals may be "felt". Some are common and experienced by many, but not everyone experiences all or the same ones. Hope this helps.

Cathy,
Symptoms of Neuropathy can vary from tingling, numbness, prickly, burning, pins and needles, electric zaps/shocks, to "insects crawling", "walking on bones", "rubbing with sandpaper", "skin tightness", or simply "pain that is difficult to describe". So, I will not be surprise if the new symptom you experience is associated with the neuropathy.
