Burning and Tingling from Head to Toe - Neuropathy Message Board

YELLOWDRESS · 07-03-2007, 05:05 PM

Can anyone give me any suggestions or information. I am in my mid 50's and feel like I am plugged into an electric socket all the time. I have burning and tingling from head to toe. Also have muscle twitching. I have been recently diagnosed with mild diabetes and can't imagine I have neuropathy so soon or so extensive from this. Has anyone else had these symptoms and can give me some info.? Thanks

Go to "neurotalk" forum. Lot's of experts there on neuropathy.

I was having the same horrible symptoms and thought I was going to have to live with it the rest of my life. So depressing. I was also suffering from mildly elevated blood sugar and was told the tingling was a result of that. My pancreas was terribly irritated, too. I finally decided to stop all diet drinks with aspartame in them, and no more sugar free jello, either. My endocrinologist already had me taking fish oil capsules to try to bring down my high triglycerides. Anyway, within two weeks, that crazy tingling disappeared (after nearly 20 years) and the feeling is coming back into my hands and feet. My pancreas feels SO much better, too. The diet drinks were making me SICK. And messing with my blood sugar. Give it a try if you drink them. It might work!

I have been dealing with neuropathy in both legs & feet for several years. I sometimes use Lydocaine oitment, just to try to 'quiet' my feet.

I also have the same thing going on. Wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. My doctors are treating the symptoms.I hate this just wish I could feel normal again. Do you feel like electric shocks also? Cause I do. My muscle also spasm especially my back. I'm on tergretol baclofen and pamelor all for the nerve pain. I also get zapped in the eye. I feel it also my face and my tongue and teeth. Ouch not fuuny at all.
