burning sensation all over body

In the past few months I have been having a burning sensation all over my body. It really bothers me at night & keeps me from sleeping. I notice it in the day when I am not very busy. It's a sensation hard to explain.

This definitely sounds like Per. Neuropathy. I have it, too. Neurontin (Gabapentin) is the ONLY drug that makes mine bearable. I currently take two 350mg capsules, four times per day. I have a very bad case of the disease,  which is common in diabetics and alcoholics. Since I am neither, my Neurologists think mine may be autoimmune related.

You could be looking at a peripheral neuropathy of some sort - but that's just a guess based on the fact that I've got that and it's what I feel. Very very annoying, eh?

I'd see your doctor and ask about it and perhaps ask about one of the anti-seizure drugs. I'm on gabapentin and it helps a TON to cut it down to a dull roar at least.
