@rwinney OMGosh you had eye surgery too. I've had RK at 30yo (6/85), Cataracts at 62yo (10/17) and most recently right eye cornea transplant due to a hereditary eye disease called Fuchs Corneal Dystrophy. I'm guessing left eye will be next. My first episode "head to toe" pins and needles started in 8/2018. I've had many surgeries in-between and often wondered if one of them triggered the entire pain issue.

That very well could be the case for you. CSS is something that can't be proven through a test so it's more along the lines of process of elimination and connecting the dots.

I had corneal transplants and cataract surgeries on both eyes when I was 43. My father passed along Fuchs dystrophy to me. My eyes are doing great now, thankfully, just sensitization symptoms from CSS.
