  • Burning sensation?

    The burning sensation is indicative of nerve pathology. When this started in the abdomen it looks like the herpes virus (Zoster) and then you have blisters, then spread up to the whole body, unless this is a systemic disease it may be the dissemination of the virus, then they gave you Amitryptiline but you did. It responded well. I do not know for how long or what does you were on. Then the GI tract acted up. This tells me that the case started like a distal nerve problem, then evolve as diffuse peripheral neuropathy, and lastly as autonomic peripheral neuropathy. You need nerve testing. EMG/MCS of all 4 limbs and try a different medication for neuropathy. Just remember that everything in neurology takes some time, weeks to start working. READ MORE
