Re: Does anyone have these symptoms too?/Molly

[Guest guest]

Molly,

Your symptoms still sound just like my mothers NEUROPOTHY..She did

not itch either and her burning pain was in her vagina most of the

time. It did move however..Her ears would hurt and when the sun

started going down in the evening her feet snd legs would start

burning...She always said when she would start burning down stair,

so to speak, that it felt like if she just had something cold to

insert, that it would feel so much better...A lot of times she

would lay with a ice bag down there..The doctors say there is

nothing to do for it..But she had a medicine that she could put on

the one spot that bothered her, that would sometimes help..The rest

of the time when it was so bad, she would have to take pain killers

and sometimes barbituates...Lots of time she was just in

agony...She was a severe diabetic...

I know I have told you some of this before..But hope I have added a

little more...I have learned lately that there is more being done

with neuropothy. Maybe you can find something on it on here..If I

do and it sounds familiar to what you said, I will pass it on..Hope

you feel better..
