Burning
Does anyone else experience burning sensations? I occasionally get burning in my shins, feet, and forearms. It's not hot to the touch, but feels to me... ? Is this a sx of fibro or something else?
Hi,
I have the burnings but I don’t have a Fibromyalgia diagnosis. I was wondering if some of you had experienced this around hormonal changes in perimenopause, menopause or pregnancy.

Yes, yes, yes.
It’s the fibro acting up.
I normally only get the burning/itching sensation on my feet and it drives me NUTS.
I also ALWAYS have cold fingers and toes - even during the summer

reading all the comments .. there are so many people with this problem it is unbelievable!!! I now have the worst burning sensation on my feet. Especially when Im sitting for a while and start to walk. Everything else just hurts! I have done the drug thing and not one of them ever helped me. I was even on vicodin and got myself off, that was the best thing i felt much better, I now have flare ups. Some days I am just fine and some I am not. I can take a muscle relaxer and that is the only thing that helps. Cant taking nsaids they kill my stomach. It is all trial and error.. for me less is more. It just *****. And.. no one really understands. best of luck
Hi barb, I have fibro and ms. I haven't been out of the bed since sept. 15. I burn all over my body. Can't touch myself or let anyone touch me. Can't even wear a bra. It is a very painful disease.
Does anyone ever have a stabbing burning pain in your arm.....its like someone has injected hot water in your veins.
Its happened a few times ....very frightening

Do any of you get extreme cold in the places mentioned above? My body temp. was 95.1 and I was so cold it was painful in my arms, hands, feet, and calves. I didn't think I'd get to sleep but I did, laden down with clothing and blankets. This has happened several times since August. I was put on topamax and that helped the cold but drove me out of my ever lovin' mind!
Was dx with fibro in 1985 - it's been a long haul. I'm grateful for all the research and help that is coming to light, especially through forums like this.
Happy Easter. Hallelujah, I have something much better to look forward to. Hope you do too.

This is amazing because a year ago on here I had a few acknowledgements as to this symptom but so few I thought maybe its something unrelated.
Now here you all are, this is how this MedHelp works. My spirits may be lifted today!!
Funny story, which always help...........I was onced teased about being a vampire by my family. IMAGINE LOL :0}
My skin was so bad I barely could wear clothes. It was beautiful sunny , summer day and I had a light cotton, to the hip, tank dress on and panties only. My dear husand was working in the front yard and the kids in the 20's and up were out in front playing with the dogs. I was inside in the air conditioning. Ahhh but with the burning. The phone rings and it was his brother from across country. I take the phone, out the front door I go with the phone shouting "its your brotherrrrrrr, arghhhhhh and about 20 feet into the yard, I starting gasping, AH, ow oh, take the phone, my skin,.. omg. My family looked at me frowning, not being very aware, as much as my husband about my skin.
My husband comes running I go back in the house, and my very funny son, comes in and says what was that? You some kind of a Vampire or something? Let me get the garlic. Daughter says "or and exorcist" We all laughed.
Never even though of the suns affect on the skin flare. Even through clothes, light cotton clothes! It felt like your feet feel when you walk barefooted on blacktop.
Thank you all for responding, I have you to think of when my skin does its thing.
OH, I like to call all these little "other" fibro" things ....side dishes.

I agree, yes, yes and yes. I just don't know how to put it into words. My burning is in both arms and on top of my hands. Thanks all.
Yup. My symptoms sounds similar to yours. When that area of the skin is heated, then it gets unbearable. Unfortuantely, I have that sensation on my butt, so it's really miserable and I can't sit down much. Car rides, etc., are intolerable. Burning feet can also be painful. I also find the aloe vera helps for a little while, better than nothing.
yes, very good TJ, I loved reading your post, you have a wonderful way of describing the different sensations that we experience.
The phone I ate! Love it. Now why didn't I think of that? How does blood going though my body like water down a shallow rocky creek. That is how I describe the under the skin feeling I get, the subtle vibration from head to toe.
Yes, as we speak Skary, my face and arms are burning. I experience a few times burning from my forehead down my body. It was so hot and slightly visible that at first. All I could do was use ice and water in a bowl and a large hand towel and blot my body to try to cool it. What worked eventually was straight 100% aloe vera gel.
TJ, it is also good to hear someone else on here say what I have been saying, We do suffer from our whole neurological system being damaged. Fibro/CFS are neuromuscular and bio-chemical illnesses. I have both myself having had a serious long term case of EBV back in 1998. Then in 2002 a mycoplasma, arghhhhh, I've been doomed!! HA, all these years later....ya learn to do the dance.

I recently discovered that I get a burning sensation in my skin when I began taking a Niacin supplement. Maybe your sensitive to Niacin in foods.
YES, yes, & yes. I get "burning sensation" as well as prickly, bug-biting, stabbing, vibrating, and crawling sensations...any & everywhere! This is definitely the Fibro talking! I just make jokes anymore....well, "my bug's biting me again;" "my face/feet are on fire again;" or "that phone I ate is going off again (vibrating);" etc...LOL! Makes it all easier to cope with anyways! At least it's all PHANTOM Pain (even though it IS exaggerated)...and not for real! Then again...what really constitutes "real pain?" As my new book says....pain, is pain, is pain!...irregardless of the source! Our bodies are still suffering from nerve damage, whether it be traumatic, or bio-chemical (as with Fibro). Hang in there...as all of us "in this boat" suffer with you! ;)
