Members connected over the experience of burning feet, with many identifying diabetic neuropathy as the primary cause and describing additional sensations like pins and needles, numbness, tingling, and electric shock-like feelings that worsen at night. Several members shared practical strategies that have brought them relief, including taking vitamin B-12 and vitamin D supplements, soaking feet in hot Epsom salt baths for 15 minutes, drinking tonic water with quinine, elevating feet throughout the day, and even placing a bar of soap in a sock at bedtime. A recurring theme was the frustration of managing unpredictable nerve pain alongside other health conditions, yet members remained hopeful and eager to try new approaches suggested by the community.

Yes but not only at night! Take extra Vit D AND using Epsom Salts w/hot water for a full 15 mins! It was amazing the first time I tried it! Never knew it worked so well!!

I used to, I try not to wear anything synthetic on my feet now. I was told to wriggle my toes move and rotate them from the ankles. I also try to elevate my feet at night and as much as possible if given the chance during the day, even if it's for 5-10mins.
I also have a pillow at the foot of my bed to either elevate my feet or I use it to keep it free of my bedding from covering my feet so my feet don't burn up.
I don't know if it will help but they have me

Nerves are peculiar aren't they? I sometimes think this life just gets on my nerves literally.

Yes - but not always at night. and I have the pins and needles etc too. A friend told me low in Vit D causes pins and needles, but I haven't checked this with the Dr yet. I was very low in VitD last blood test and I now take one tab per week for 6 weeks. taken one but haven't stopped the P and N yet

My hypersensitive skin (on my shoulder blade & underarm) has been there for nearly 6 years now. I hardly go out as people think I am mad without shoulderclothes. All I want is to be able to wear appropriate clothes. Will it go away one day?
