    I have come off an antidepressant after years on St John’s wort. I have fibromyalgia and it calms me down to the extent that I can cope with the daily pain. I have had sensory disturbances with cold for a long time. I know this from fibromyalgia, I can hardly stand it in the refrigerated section of the supermarket. For months now, I have also had tingling in my hands when washing them and, since this summer, burning feet when exposed to sunlight. I started searching for fibromyalgia and am now grateful to read these experiences here. Now I know where it comes from. I find myself here again. Even in the wind, my skin tingles, pricks like pins and needles, hurts like after a part of my body that has fallen asleep wakes up again. I can’t stand my feet in the sun, it burns like fire. I can’t wear sandals. I’m going to take it off now. I can bear the skin changes but not this any more.
