Alternatives

Hi, I'm 37 year old woman. About 10 years ago started getting strange neuro sensations in groin, legs, arms, hands....got more and more severe and finally diagnosed with skin biopsy with small fiber. i am getting worse: 2 major flare ups in 5 months: numb feet/burning feet/number calves/burning calves. i am so far resisting drugs.

anyone out there resisting drugs -- and any known excellent vitamins (i do not have b12 def) or foods that help with the pain or the flare ups. i am doing hot yoga now in an attempt to heal a bit. i have been doing accupuncture but honestly don't find it changing anything at all. i do find caffeine can be a problem and i rarely but occassionally smoke and that i'm sure worsens things (but helps with stress for a moment - i know, weird)...anyway, looking for any ideas for alternative meds.

thank you

I feel for you.  The burning is awful.  I sent you a "private message."  I wish I could find something that would help with my pain.  Jen
