Thanks for the info that's what I was thinking could using to much cause harm. I only use it sparingly.

Best of luck as it is miserable.
Thanks will definitely ask the doctor about it.

I've used lidocaine creams too with some positive effect. I also use IcyHot ointment which is essentially menthol and methyl salicylate. Some might say it stings. For me I get a tingling icy effect, burning if on sensitive skin. It seems to overwhelm with neuropathy sensations, creating a numbing effect that for me tends to last for a while sometimes even canceling out the bothersome sensations.

What have worked for you for pain, clothes, bathing, etc.? Any advise welcomed.
I have the same exact problem especially with clothes and sheets. Sadly it's usually 4 to 6 times a day I have to change clothes to feel some relieft and on top of it all I can see the white flakes coming off of my skin and staying on the inside of my clothes. Have you found anything else that works yet? I've been given the gabapentin by my dermatologist and told to use prescribed lidocaine patches and I've done the gabapentin but haven't done the lidocaine patches consistently. I never thought I would find someone else who's going through the exact same thing I am.

I was given a referral to a rheumatologist in the capital of our state since it's only 45 min away from where I live. And the rheumatologist examined me for fibromyalgia or any other rheumatology reason and determined that I didn't have it. And I was also sent to the neurologist and gave me a nerve conduction test which came out normal and showed no findings of peripheral neuropathy or any other emg findings on the test and suggested I begin taking a multivtamin, which I haven't done. But I was sent to a dermatologist about 8 months ago and 6 months ago determined that I had extremely dry skin as well dermatitis. And the next appointment the dryness was getting a little better but I was still having horrible pain. So, the pain she believed was coming from the allodynia and gave me a prescription of gabapentin for 300 mg tablets to take 1 to 3 times a day. as well as giving me lidocaine patches and I've consistently done the gabapentin but not consistently the lidocaine patches as well as keeping up with moisturizing my skin.

Does the icy hot really help?

Really I didn't know too much lidocaine could effect the heart. Is it bad if i use the aspercream lidocaine roll on thats infused with essential oils and use it all over my stomach, sides, and thighs and legs since my pain is all over my body? Especially since it's not just all lidocaine it also has the essential oils
