Thank you to everyone, I have found this very helpful and supportive! I found this group in December 2017 and I really appreciate hearing from everyone. I have been suffering from BRP for a solid 10 years, I have experienced a one year reprieve (if you will) two times. I really would like to know if this is an autoimmune disease/issue? Have any of you have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease? I was diagnosed with MS in May of 2014, I asked my neurologist if my BRP symptoms could be an MS issue, (at the time I didn't know about BRP.) He actually looked at me like I was crazy and said there is no way I could have a "rash" seasonally in the same place year after year. I tried to explain that there was no rash just an extreme prickly tingling sensation in my forearms. He interrupted me & explained this is not an MS issue. OK, maybe it's not an MS issue but it is STILL A REAL THING!!! This has to be related to something!!
