Strange *new* symptom.... hot water...

I have a strange, sort of new (a few months) symptom I keep meaning to ask about but then forget. (Imagine forgetting something, lol)  I used to like to take really hot showers, but now I can't stand them.  The water has to be luke warm or it feels like it is burning my skin... I mean seriously burning.  Does anyone else have this?

  Hi...I have issues with cold...like ice packs or holding a cold drink....it burns me....I do know that some that have a syrinx tend to have this issue not being able to tell hot from cold and some that r sensitive to temps,.

  Our brain compression does not let the signals get thru or work properly.....so ur body can not tell what the temp is except it is hot, and it seems to be over reacting to get u out of harms way....

Do add it to ur  list for ur NS.
