Is there any Remover of Difficulties save God? Say: Praised be God. He is God. All are His servants, and all abide by His bidding.

I have found that if I wear soft long underwear under my jeans it doesn't bother me and helps to keep me warmer. I too always have the pins & needles plus the burning/freezing all the time, but it is so much worse in the evening.. I believe that I have learned to live with it since I am able to fall asleep and stay asleep all night except to go potty at least once maybe twice. I have also been told by doctors that the pins & needles in the feet is called neuropathy, which is the same nerve pain that people with diabetes suffer from. I have a good friend with diabetes and has suffered with it for years.

I think I've posted for eight straight winters that wearing blue jeans in cold weather puts me right to bed due the the intense pain the cold material causes. New TMers beware! It isn't just the heat that causes additional painful sensations. The cold weather causes its own set of problems.

I must say though that I do believe it has decreased somewhat. Either that or I'm just used to it. I don't do meds as all they did was make me completely spaced out or zombie like and the pain was still there. Strangely enough, just the everyday little old aspro or Panadol help. Maybe because they concentrate on any other unrelated pain that then lessons the tm residuals. I have no idea why, I just know that's what happens for me. There are other external causes. The shoes you wear, your socks (always wear them inside out), the clothes you wear, particularly the type of material. I found that by paying attention to these things, I can lesson (not by a whole lot) these annoying freeze/burn feelings.

Movement and feeling also brought the feeling of pins and needles. I've taken Lyrica for about three years - it helps a lot. I don't know about side effects except the cost can empty your wallet. I would have stuck with gabapentin, but it was unpredictable. Lyrica starts working witin 15 minutes. Gabapenten took an hour or two to work. The best pan reliever is laughter and the posts I read tonight relieved my pain for a while. The antidepressant, Cymbalta, might help with the pins and needles. Of course, it's another drug with a lot of side effects. Pati - Michigan
