Hello @hrod. I am sorry to hear of your burning from allodynia, and fibromyalgia challenges over the years. Winter is challenging for me as well. I have experienced burning also as part of my central sensitization condition. I tried all of the creams and they did not help enough to warrant continued use. Unfortunately, pain stems from the brain which is why all too often conventional medical treatments don't help for things like fibro and central sensitization syndrome. I do take Pregabalin for some assistance, but I still need to manage symptoms beyond. Do you take nerve medication?

I found help at Mayo Clinic's Pain Rehabilitation Center (PRC). This program treats allodynia, fibro, CSS, neuropathy, migraine, and more. I am unaware however of a specific allodynia association. Here is information about Mayo's Pain Rehab Center which is a incredible comprehensive pain rehab program:

The reason doctors do not know how to treat allodynia and other nerve related dysfunctions, is that sadly, it boils down to no medical treatments provide the help we are looking for. It takes self-care, lifestyle changes and self-help with physical, emotional, and behavioral management, and most importantly acceptance.

I'm sorry, I know these may not be the answers you were looking for. I wish it were easier. Maybe someone will chime in with something that has helped them with allodynia, Until then, do you mind watching this video from Mayo Clinic's Dr. Sletten which educates on chronic pain and symptoms?

Will you please get back to me with your thoughts on what I've presented?
