@note8book I have found that when my B12 is low, I get the parathesia symptoms; burning
with pain. I am on B12 injections weekly now. I skipped a week (by mistake) and boy did I
pay for it.
B12 is not something that is normally checked with your physical bloodwork....the same with D3. It has to be requested outside of your normal bloodwork.
You can also have what is called "idiopathic peripheral neuropathy" without having diabetes.
This is usually treated with Gabapentin.
Praying for you. I empathize.

@covidstinks2023 As far as I know I am not a diabetic and I have had a lot of labs done and no one has told me that I am low on B12 or D3. I take a daily multiple vitamin that has all of those vitamins in it. I am having a really bad day today. I am taking 50mg of Lyrica in the morning and 50 at bedtime. The one I take at bedtime seems to help and I sleep fairly well but the morning dose only makes me drowsy and like a zombie but does not stop the burning pain. I got up burning this morning and when I do that my blood pressure goes way up. It was over 200 this morning and went down to 179 after taking two blood pressure meds. It does this all of the time. I have had 3 times that my skin burned so bad that I had to get in the shower and run cold water over me to cool my off. I am also having brain zaps. There will be a sound just like an electric zap the will go through my head. On one occasion it zapped then there was a bright flash of light on the other side of my head just like someone turned a small light bulb on then turned it off. I'm seeing my neurologist this coming week and I'm going to tell him that something has got to give. I can't keep on living like this.
