I have burning feet and hands, especially at night, so painfull it keeps me awake. I have had this for quite a few years, thinking it was associated with my polyscytic kidney disease. I had a transplant a year ago but the burning remains. I am taking prednisolone , tacrolimus and myfordic. Any suggestions? Michele

Hi Michele,

Thanks for your query.

Burning feet/hands is usually due to Vitamin B12 deficiency. Take 1500 micrograms of B12 daily, which will gradually relieve the burning sensation.

Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me, and prescribe the advised supplement in appropriate dose.
