Sunburn?

Posted by notasunburn @notasunburn, Apr 23, 2022

Seven months ago, suddenly and violently, my skin began to hurt as though it were badly sunburned. I don’t go out in the sun (melanoma 22 yrs ago).
Dermatologist informed me it was not a skin issue. Primary care Dr. Sent me to a Neuro Doc.
Five months of pain, then Dr. Neuro tells me I have small fiber neuropathy, likely permanent, though some cases have lasted only a couple of years. He gave me pregabalin, which has relieved 75-90% of the pain, but leaves me feeling drowsy and I fatigue easily.
Another doctor (friend of mine) heard that Naltrexone and Lion’s Mane have been helpful to others with similar pain.
Last week, desiring to be clear headed again, skipped a pregabalin dose and the pain came roaring back. So bad.
I would love your recommendations for treatment, tolerance, and how to find acceptance that this is my new normal.

The burning and pain are confined to just my feet. But I have degrees of numbness, all the way up to my face.

Welcome @marianmabryharris, Sorry to hear you have the burning and pain in your feet. I know that must make every day pretty miserable. There is another discussion you might find helpful:

Have you been diagnosed with neuropathy?

Warning, Lion's Mane has been found to be an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS product which is devastating every day more lives, this is a very serious topic that should be NOT ignored, I'm the moderator of the "LionsManeRecovery" Reddit community and everyday there's new people asking for help desperately
