Hi,
My Neuropathy started in my early thirties. I also had the water sensations. The pain, burning, stinging numbness, pins & needles were awful. I couldn't walk very far. I am one of the lucky ones. Mine got better many years later. The burning now is so mild it's virtually gone. All my other symptoms are better too except the numbness which is worse. When I was having other pain problems my doctor prescribed Fentanyl, and it did help my Neuropathy as well.
You talked about Anxiety, depression suicide, and being ”Super positive.” I'm not trying to diminish the seriousness of what you're going through but you can’t allow yourself to change your positive attitude to negative, it will only cause additional problems and you have enough to deal with. Just take one day at a time and never give up. You’ll get through this just like the rest of us have.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I was eating lunch in my office earlier and I suddenly felt extremely overwhelmed. I’m not experiencing pain at this point, it’s mostly odd sensations and discomfort for now. I feel like all of my days are consumed with thoughts about when severe pain will begin and if/when I’ll have to end my career (and all the stress that goes with that). Anyway, I apologize for the rant. Thanks again for the encouragement.
