Odd new side for Sovaldi/Olysio treatment

Aside from the continuing fatigue and headaches, I developed a new. weird side effect today that I can only attribute to my treatment. I feel as if my fingers were burned. There are no blisters or anything visually noticeable but it feels just like my fingers were just pulled out of a hot fire. Anyone ever had this side effect?
Am I just going crazy?

I get the hands and feet burning even without the meds, but it is more so now
I will stand on cold bathroom tile at times

The weirder thing for me has been hot flashes, like menopause, only that was over for me 10 years ago
Not often, and short times

But I certainly have felt warmer this cold winter( started 2/11) than my husband , so I have been the one lowering the thermostat not him :-)

Haven't had the burning fingers but when I go to bed at night, I do get some burning sensation in my feet.  Didn't notice this often until I started tx.  Some of the muscular and neuropathy issues in the legs does seem to be a bit better.  Keep in mind I've only been on the Sovaldi/Olysio 5 weeks.  Really hoping the brain fog will improve as it affects my work.
