Is Stinging Pain Throughout The Body A Symptom Of Peripheral Neuropathy?

I have been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy without diabetes. I have never read of anyone stinging all over vs feet and hands. I literally sting over my entire body including my face and scalp. It is much better first thing in the morning and gradually gets worse as the day wears on. Is this a symptom of neuropathy or something else? Thanks very much BH

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear welcome to HealthcareMagic
Regarding your experience with generalized itching sensations following a diagnosed peripheral neuropathy I am suggesting strongly that you have a condition called hypersensitivity skin reaction possibly from the following

Allergic substance
Extreme cold
overdose of drugs
Liver disease from bilirubin
Pollens from flowers
Insect bite

In view of this please do the following test

IgE electrophoresis
Heaf test
Blood culture
Urine toxicology

Meanwhile please see a dermatologist specialist with the results and for further clinical assessment and adequate drug prescription

I hope this helps Regards
