It started 1 year ago for me with numbness and loss of strength, then came the burning. The sweats are on and off, I thought it was menopause. I spent hundreds on supplements and otc creams. It was burning so bad I couldn't feel the capsaicin cream. Now the painful burning is in check, and I am currently looking for a job to be able to pay my bills. Don't give up on yourself and keep trying different things. Some medications may take a couple weeks to feel better. Best of luck and remember we are all here to support each other.
