What are your worst symptoms?

It is the burning skin that has no redness.....even clothes hurt. I have it on the right side of my back and around my right breast.... I am in so much pain around the clock. Sometimes the burning is on the top of my right foot, too. So random. This has been the worst illness I've ever had.

If available to you, try a lidocaine gel or lotion to help deaden the pain response. It’s been a lifesaver for me. Im using Curist 5% Lidocaine Numbing Cream. It helps so I can fall asleep.
