Nettie - Yes, the burning skin for me is one of my worst symptoms - it especially is disturbing for me cause it seems to come on in the middle of the night for me & wake me up from a sound sleep - I get it on my feet, front of calves, back, neck & arms - I haven’t experienced the dry eyes (can’t wait for that) but I do get dry mouth/tongue - this is so much fun- not!

Hi Nettie, yes to the dry eyes. Skin not too bad, but it is very thin, I use vitamin E oil. Just a drop goes a long way. Blink eyedrops work ok for the eyes😀

Hi Nettie - you might want to try Aloe Vera gel on your arms to soothe the burning (I keep mine in the refrigerator) & if you get burning anywhere else on your body...ice packs are comforting, donesnt take it away, but does make you feel better -

yep...skin and eyes...eyes are worse than skin. Went for skin and was told it's a form of eczema (small round patches I thought I'd picked up ringworm from the kids I teach)
But also my eyes checked because I was experiencing eye bleeds...you know, when your eye goes red like you've been hit...but it doesnt hurt.
Doc said I have super dry eyes. Systane drops during day n gel at night works wonders.
I also use a mask I can heat up...about to use it now...it is like HEAVEN!!!
