@resage Have you noticed changes with the humidity or barometric pressure? I experience both hot and cold but the intensity and occurrence increases with high humidity.

I am in Pennsylvania Poconos for the summer and the humidity and temperature both rose during the recent heatwave in the 90's as well as the 80's, and can't separate them but it leads to burning feeling, but when it drops to the 70's and 60's, I experience the freezing feeling. Not sure if the humidity drops as well but it doesn't feel humid at that temperature.

@avmcbellar Hello. @resage This is an interesting phenomenon with the hot and cold. (My husband had the sudden onset of idiopathic peripheral neuropathy which early on appeared as a piece of glass in the foot, then thought it was a broken bone. only a few months later to get the diagnosis of PN and has had this for 3 years and while very painful fortunately seems to be have remained in the feet.) I'm not sure if he experiences cold in the winter but I do know that heat (heating pad, hot tub, etc.) aggravates the situation. I have a friend with MS who has also told me that heat aggravates that neurological condition as well.
He just started recently taking R-Alpha Lipoic Acid at lower doses. I believe there's been studies where higher doses (at least 600mg/day) helped relieve neuropathic pain and @lorirenee1 has had good luck with taking Benfotiamine which is a form of B1.
Have either of you been down that road with supplements?
