Yes, I had that sensation all last week.  It's annoying, isn't it?!  This is one of those parasthesias which can make it difficult to walk at times.  Numb feet do not lend themselves to being graceful.

Someone told me that Capsacin or a cream like it works for the burning.  You can give it a try.  And if you're diagnosed, tell you doctor about it.  (If you're NOT diagnosed, tell your doctor about it, too!)  At least make a note of it in a symptom journal.  

Feel better!

Yes, I have seen the OTC cream at the pharmacy.  I think it's used a lot for diabetic patients and their neuropathy.  Good luck with it.

I am feeling better and better.  Thanks for asking!

I've recently started enjoying this sensation. Well, usually my feet are terribly cold and I can't get them to feel warm, even if I prop them in front of the fire, so I guess I shouldn't complain! :)

That is too funny.  Isn't it strange what we appreciate?

Thanks for sharing!
