Started in my feet/legs, rapidly spread to hands/forearms and occasionally torso.
Is this the bee sting? Could it possibly be something new, or an escalation of my neural condition. For information, I am also a Type 2 Diabetic.

Your description of burning/searing/ shock pain from slightest touch rang true to me. I used Mortons Epsom Salt Lotion for relief from these symptoms. As for the bee stings, it's almost like there are no rules or roadmaps to the progression or evolution of symptoms or pain. Medication effectiveness varies by individual in much of the same way. Few things have improved my life but this lotion was one, the other was time. Pardon if you already tried it, I didn't read past posts. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.

Thanks Ken,
Over 25 years I have been put on most meds and creams, but not Epsom Salt Lotion. It has always been assumed my Hypersensitivity was triggered by multiple MVAs, including a very serious one in '90. However, my GP is now working on the idea that my use of neurotoxic solvents throughout the '80s is a contributing factor.
Thanks for the advice, I will try it as soon as I can get to a Chemist, next week.

Dave.

Hi Dave
You might want to try phoning your chemist first for the Morton's Epsom Salt Lotion. Another poster said they had tried to buy it around the UK and it wasn't available (same in NZ). MrsD gave them info on another brand. Here's the thread:

Also there's a recipe for DIY make your own.

I tried a quick search in the iherb online catalogue but couldn't find it listed but there are other sites, eg: amazon & walgrens, that do stock it.
Good luck

I started getting these too a couple weeks ago. It's a split second sting and then goes away. Sometimes I won't get them for hours. I haven't had any today so far.
