> Well I don't know whether it is neuropathic pain for sure because I've never been diagnosed with anything, but then the doctors haven't taken it seriously. It's general nerve pain, as if the nerve endings are sore and inflamed (or perhaps hyper excitable?). Tactile allodynia seems to be a good match - extreme sensitivity to light touch, as if my skin is raw and burnt. I also get a lot of joint pain, perhaps from early onset arthritis like both my parents. Anywyay, it's much improved since starting lamotrigine. Within an hour of taking the first dose my skin started tingling and the raw feeling went away. I can still feel a certain amount of joint pain, but it manifests as more of a cold metallic feeling than actual pain.
