Hi,
I am 47 y/o female and started with burning skin on my thigh many years ago.  The past 4 years it has progressed to constant ringing in ears, and burning skin pain on face, upper arms and neck.  I also have pain in my fingers and toes, like I've been out in the cold.  I've seen 3 neurologists with no definate answer yet.  In all fairness, I haven't seen one for a couple of years and things have gotten worse.  so far, mri brain, ana, b12 sed rate and other bloodwork normal.  I started taking vitamings and stopped drinking nutrasweet-with no luck as of yet.  I am going to see the neurologist again the end of this month. I've heard there is a simple procedure called a punch biopsy of the skin as a test for certain types of neuropath.  I will ask him about this.

I wish your sister the best of luck.  I also get cold sores frequently and take valtrex.  I don't know if it is related at all-like some kind of an immune response.

take care
