@eno, @ch47, @day333 and all...I've tried everything from Voltarin cream which does give me some relief to ease things enough to relax my legs and feet some; tried magnesium cream that is helpful, but not enough; and multiple other creams and oils which did not much but helped my dry skin some...didn't resolve the issues.
Then, I was prescribed a steroid cream to use sparingly on my arms for the Sarcoid rash, for 2 weeks at a time since it begins to cause side effects such as thin skin and such. I used it one night on my feet and legs during a serious attack of burning and needles sticking, heat, etc. It was great! I now use that cream when I have a worse than normal attack and I'm thrilled with the results. It also resolved the rash on my legs that caused bumps so big, red, and irritating. They are gone. They may have been Sarcoid or vasculitis, don't know, don't care. It worked and resolved the issue. Now, I use CBD lotion several nights weekly on my arms and legs. I get it from Winged Wellness online. It has been very helpful in keeping legs, feet, arms, hands, shoulders, and neck free of rash, with fewer flares with pins and burning and pain. I'm very pleased.
I think I have a plan now that works well for me. Hopefully, some of my information will help you with this at times horrible discomfort. I have RLS and take Requip every evening. By taking it earlier than bedtime, it is helping me a lot with the RLS, and these creams added are making a huge difference in my nights.
Blessings as you walk this journey...Elizabeth
Thank you…could you share the name of the steroid cream? My doctors are so willing to try anything, unless harmful, of course. We have been working together so long-they know I use meds as rx’d.
It would be wonderful if the steroids would help-is there any concern about too much steroid use?
