Going in for blood work at lunchtime to see if the tingles, etc. are all from celiac disease. I guess you can say we're just grasping at straws now to find something for the reason... It's getting to be like being a pin cushion or a dart board... OR may be that someone has a voodoo doll out on me?!?!
The reason for looking at celiac is the combination of IBS, aches, fatigues, joint problems, the neuropathies. There are also issues with the iron, B12, Vit D as well. The downside would be giving up WHEAT! Uff da.

Living with dysesthesia
A patient suffering from dysesthesia can find it to be unbearable at times. Dysesthetic burning has been called "Dante-esque" pain. The terminology used to describe it is usually interchangeable with descriptions of Hell in classic literature. It is the "bluntest" pain of which the human body is capable, and is characterized by the absence of accurate discriminative information.
Temperature change and heat both affect the sensation and raise the level of the steady pain. This pain upgrades with tonic light touch, phasic rubbing, or rough textures to become evoked pain.
The patient often cannot endure the touch of clothing. His or her entire life becomes an exercise in avoiding evoked pain. It causes difficulty in obtaining rest because bed-clothing contacts the skin. It drives the patient to a hysterical search for relief of the pain, which ends in some degree of resignation and frequent depression. Patients indicate that it has robbed them of their identity, since their values and mental priorities are so consumed by its avoidance.
And http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyneuropathy
Polyneuropathy is a neurological disorder that occurs when many peripheral nerves throughout the body malfunction simultaneously. It may be acute and appear without warning, or chronic and develop gradually over a longer period of time. Many polyneuropathies have both motor and sensory involvement; some also involve dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. These disorders are often symmetric and frequently affect the feet and hands, causing weakness, loss of sensation, pins-and-needle sensations or burning pain. There are quite a few conditions that can cause polyneuropathy.
Whee. Hold me Jesus, please!
