Seems like we always have some symptom or another.  I will get better with one, and another pops up its head.  So right now I am feeling a bit more energy and my pain has been pretty low- when in walks the burning skin feeling. mad   Right now the backs of my legs feel like they are on fire. 

This always makes getting dressed for work very interesting.  Yesterday's wool pants really triggered this off pretty badly, so today had to find a smoth cotton pant to wear (no jeans or twill- too much texture).

Just *****ing a bit.... smhair otherwise life is pretty good. scool

Hi.  That is one of my worst symptoms out there.  Its horrible!  Only my skin will burn all over my body, not just in spots.  I hate it. Does anything help you?

Hi Nancy, Nothing really helps once it's flaring. I usually get it as a result of an irritation from clothing. But I don't know when my clothes are going to bother me and when they dont. Sometimes I can go months with feeling fine and wear some of my more itchy clothes. Once I get a flare up, I am wearing all cotton, tucked into my pants, soft pants as much as possible, and no textured fabrics.

Also, when I feel it coming on, once I bought lanasil's chaffing cream, and it actually helped prevent a total flare up. But now i can't find what I did with the cream and i didn't find it in the stores I was recently in. AND it's expensive.

Isn't it annoying??????? It stated to feel a bit better today. So instead of that I am exhausted :-) never ends I guess, it just moves around to keep us on our toes.
Thanks for replying,
Susan

I get this symptom too and putting my feet into cold(ish) water seems to help me some. If you happen to live near any body of water, I've found that wading in the lake seems to calm the burning (but it may also be bc it's so peaceful out there).

Would a soothing lotion help?  I think I would try that.  Sometimes my hands will feel like the skin is going to split open but yet the skin is soft and supple.  Even so, I head for my Curel lotion and it soothes it and the feeling leaves.

I have been using coconut oil as a moisturizer and it really helps! There are a lot of benefits of using coconut oil instead of butter on toast and in baked foods.

I wonder if aloe would help? That's what I use on a burn. I too have burning on my skin, but it doesn't get as severe as yours. Doesn't it always seems it's something? I was thinking of telling my DH (dear husband) to not even ask me how I'm feeling, because I hate complaining and it seems if it's not one thing, it's a couple more, lol. I like Snue's comment that it keeps us on our toes.
