Odd problems, hairloss, other things help

Maybe someone else out there might also suffer from my odd symptoms

First off, I had noticed many years back burning on my face and arms, numbness and tingling etc. I had an MRI and other tests to rule out any problems.  It was chalked up to stress which I accepted and went on Celexa an antidepressant.  I was on this for two years and was a more calm relaxed numb burning tingling person.

After about two years, these odd things tapered off and went away.  I dropped the celexa.  I had a baby and when he hit  1 1/2 yrs old some new things developed.

Severe burning to the scalp, followed by major hair loss, about 1/3 of my hair which seemed quick.  I get burning of the face, head scalp tops of arms

Feet turn blue when cold
Im cold often
Night sweats
Nausea
Hair loss
Insomnia
skin sensations

I was out cutting the lawn when I got stung by a hornet 3 times. It took me about 4 seconds to realize I was being stung and that it was not the normal bite and tingle feeling I get on my skin.

I have seen 4 drs nobody has a clue.  I saw an allergist, endocrinologist, obgyn and my internal specialist.

The only thing showed my hormones slightly elevated and I am now on yasmin to try and stabalize them and the hair loss.  That is if this is what is causing it

Anyone else out there???  IM a 37 yr old female and just at a total loss.  Very mentally stable and prior to this whole fiasco a fairly happy individual with a very happy family and life :o(

Thank you girls.  I have been to 4 docs nobody knows.  I would chalk it all up to anxiety if my hair was not falling out, but way to many oddities now to say its in my head.

The HL is the most disturbing and was a rapid onset - not over a period of year or so.  Literally within a few weeks, and worsening.

My last stop is to another derm at the clev clinic.  I hope she has an answer if not then I will remain in limbo forever.

This stinks!

I agree, that is a link I would recommend also! "Raynaud's phenomenon" may explain the blue skin when cold. You stumped me on the hornet sting, sounds like it was awful!
The burning skin, tingling, chills/heat, etc, these are symp's/signs of hypothyroidism, maybe Lyme? Check out the link Platletgal suggested. Keep us posted, K!
