Hi Aimee, Thanks for posting and interesting enough
we just came back from a month in Ontario, Canada on a
fishing trip. My burning, pins, needles, numbness,
etc. is in my feet. It is too bad that you have to
pay so much for an MRI but in the long run, it might
be worth it. I do not know or have I read those
symptoms where you have them but maybe as we go on
with this someone will have some answers. Please keep
us informed as to what you find out. If the bee sting
cures you, there will be many of us wanting that to
happen. LOL For now, Lois
