Since March 2002, I have been experiecing this God awful sunburned sensation on my skin in different areas. It started with a slight pain on my arms in 2002, went away, then came back in May of 2003 after a stressful period and attacked my face and arms. Long story short.... I started Zolft in Septenber 2003 for depression that the burning caused and it took the burning away until December of 2003. It came back but was not quite as intense and it had been. It went away again and I noticed it occasionally on my face. Just last week (July 21st to be exact) I started aching all over and the burning started back a couple of days after that. My calves feel like they are burned, my arms have spots that feel burned, my knees have spots that feel burned.......
I have had an MRI of my brain in Aug 2003, a neck and c-spine MRI of June 2002 - both were clear. I did stop the Zoloft back in May of this year and did fine up until now.
I have been told it can be Fibromyalgia. What in the world can cause a person's skin to hurt this way?????
Please, if you have any answers or suggestions, I'd love to hear them. I'm 32 years old, have a 6 yr old son and a husband. I'd like to believe that it's nothing serious.
Thanks!
