CKD Stage 3B
I’ve started getting burning sensation in my arms and legs and also itchy feeling. I don’t have this issue my hands and feet. Does anyone else have these symptoms? It’s very annoying and brings me down.
I started having the symptoms before I was diagnosed. I thought I was just getting too hot. Then the doctor placed me on gabapentin for the tingling in my hands and feet. They treat symptoms more than anything else.
Yes, you are right about that. With many chronic illnesses, actually, they end up treating the symptoms because it is not possible to really treat the root cause. I have experienced that myself on my chronic illness journey for many years now. Frustrating, for sure, but we just do the best we can each day. At least we are not alone! Keep on keepin' on, DPM
