The burning skin feeling described here sounds like paresthesia, sometimes called pins and needles. I often describe it to people as feeling like a severe sun burn all over my body. I began noticing it at about 2 months into my LC journey in my upper torso, now 7 months in it’s all over. I always know it’s there, but it intensifies when I start overdoing it. Sometimes it’s my warning to stop and rest. It also seems to intensify at night, when I’m tired and on a hot day. One treatment which my doctor prescribed was an antidepressant, but I had so many side effects, I decided to just live with it for now. While it’s very frustrating and sometimes painful, for me it’s not debilitating. I’m sorry it’s so bad for you.

Every evening palms of hands& bottoms of feet set up hours of burning. Have to keep at bedtime feet&hands sticking out of bed covers until cold will wake me back up 3a.m. Nothing helps
