Please don't misunderstand me Michele, the last thing i would want to do is to cause you any discomfort, if something was aggravating my nerves or it didn't agree with me for whatever reason, i wouldn't take it myself, know matter what anyone else had said or recommended, we are not always the same in our reactions to chemicals, it's solely an individual choice only.

Your symptoms sound very similar to mine were originally, severe burning all the time and even more painful when i tried to walk & electric like sharp stabbing feelings in both feet, which would happen at any given time.
I went undiagnosed for about 3 months, until i seen a second neuro that sent me off for proper testing ,a 3 hour glucose tolerance test and other blood work, which showed that i was in a pre/diabetic state [who knows for how long ] but i really owe my success to the original members here that pointed me in the right direction in the first place.

...and you have a great and hopefully painless weekend yourself.
all the best,
Brian
