Hi, I now get this 24/7, it's either a buring pain, or freezing cold, when I first started with it I spoke to my Nuero, who told me it was nerve pain, and to do with the nerve endings, I take Gabepentin 1600mg a day, to be honest I don't think it touches it anymore, and yes I could go higher, or maybe take something else, but where do you stop, you're right though it drives me crazy, although I have it all the time, it gets a lot worse at night, I haven't been able to sleep with covers touching my legs for about 2yrs, and have a bed cage to keep then off, some pj's I can't wear because of the material, so you have my sympathy, take care, Jean x p.s it's now started in my arms, and my face, great, x
