You are right to remide us about cothes, shoes and sock contributing to
our TM pain. 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.

John, the sad fact is that nothing really takes it away, I have so
far racked up a bit over 10 years of it.
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.

Gerry and Pati--you can control the cost by buying your meds a River
Pharmacy--out of India--they are honest and the drug is quality

Gerry,
Many of us faced the same thing. 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.
