Thanks for the reply Ellsac. I have only ever had one corticosteroid injection when the burning started and we weren't sure what it was so decided to give that a try. I have never had steroids before this. The skin issue is also significant where there is burning and pain. I did at first think it was just ageing but it is definitely more than this as it changed dramatically almost overnight at the exact same time I became really sick when neuropathy probs started. It is something to consider though. I do think my hormones have changed around since having a baby and I am 35. The yellowy healthy tone from my legs just disappeared immediately when the weird skin sensations came. Got ageing to worry about on top of all my defective health issues, got to try laugh :-)
