I have a friend who was recently diagnosed with CD. Since going GF for
4+ months she has cut out Synthroid (as per her doctors instructions),
and other medications. She is taking less over the counter pain
medication. Now her biggest problem is a severe iching/burning pain
which runs down the inside and outside of her legs and arms. She
describes it as a burning cramp in the muscles. It probably hasn't
gotten worse since she's GF but whereas before she had so many other
more pressing problems she didn't bother trying to solve this one. Now
that she is up and about and using her muscles more this is a larger
concern. Since she is not taking over-the-counter pain medication for
headaches this pain is even more obvious. She says it itches/burns but
if she scratches it then it BURNS/hurts. If the touches it then it
Burns. It is worse when she wears jeans. Does anyone have any insights?
Has anyone ever had anything like this? Could it be low B12?
