First let me say how sorry I am to here that you have had to suffer through all this! My goodness, you are lucky to be alive. I myself think that there is a possibility that you will have issues of sensitivity forever but to lesser of a degree as time goes on. They most likely know this, but don't want to tell ya this for sure. A pain condition can be caused by a variety of reasons.Look up fibromyalgia in the medical dictionary and see what I'm talking about.

I worked with a burn patient, They had fantom pain for about 2 1/2 years some of the nerve endings took awhille to heal...he said the first years was te worst and after that it got better.

I know a guy who was burned a little worse than what you describe. He was told that it depends on the degree of damage to your nerve endings. Also, everyone's pain level is different.
I wish I could tell you something to ease your pain, burns are so horrible.
