does fibromyalgia make your skin feel like is on fire

thank u for your response it means alot to know someone read my post and cares. please feel free to msg me any time im in need of a friend.

Hello , Thank your reply and yes it always nice to talk to someone who might understand what you are going through there have been times when my hands and feet feel like they are burning and there were also times when i couldnt take a hot bath  that seem to have got better since i have started some new medication called prescibed /Lyrica which i has helped me a lot  i found that some people dont understand my illness therefore you just have to get on with it and at times can be so painfull and the effects on your life can be a nightmare .i have had this two years now and try and control it as much as possable . what about you how do you deal with it

I have fibromyalgia and sometimes if feels like the top layer of skin is on fire when i touch it.  It will be in different places on different days. One time is was on my forehead around my eye it burned all day.  Worse when I touched it. The next day it was gone. Sometimes it might be my forearm.  But yes it does feel like fire, like I have a burn on that area.

 

I hope this helps.

thank you your feed back are your arms and legs swollen .mine have been for two years now, i hold down a full time job and sometimes feel i will not be able to contine due to all the different things that happen with fibromyalgia .My GP doesnt understand or know enough about this illness and has said this is something you have to live with ?

I just recently lost my job of 14 years and my hands would be swollen where I could never get my wedding ring off.  The mornings seem to be the worst.  My ankles will swell and fill with fluid. I also have meralgia peristhetica which is where the nerves that fun through the groin and down the leg are pinched.  My legs have had constant pain for the past 5 years. I am so tired of being in pain, and no one including my husband understand how a person who has these problems feel. Like when I dont have any energy and I look like a lazy person.  My husband does not believe in pain meds. Well, he doesnt know what pain is. Doctors dont know enough about fybro as they also dont know enough about mp.  I am glad I found this site because at least there are people who understand what we go through daily.

 

 

 

Hello, Don'T be down about losing your job it happens to all of us at some point in our life for whatever reason ,i am sure as time goes on and you keep chasing your doctor to help and support you there might be a time when you will return back to work has your doctor put you forward for a pain clinic my doctor has and they do help with all sorts take all the help you can get and the benefit's linked to it .

 At last i have someone who has had the same as me as they don't seem to understand or know why my arms and hands are so big sometimes my legs have a large lumps on on them where they are swollen and  others just think you are fat , some time ago my doctor put me on steroid's . at the start and i felt a new person with 24hours of taking them could walk the dog & stay up late do the garden and all sort but it didn't last once they lower the mg it didn't work the same  . i often feel that other see this illness as something they cant see and therefore you might be making more of it than you should well tell them they should live in your body for 24hours and see what it is like . i do try and control this illness and try hard not to let it get the better of me but i agreed at times it hard all i can say is that loved ones that look and can not  see the pain you go through in your head and body they need to stand back and look at the change in that person no one who is normal is going to put there life on hold and take the pain that this illness give . 

Not all of us have the same symptons as fibromyalgia can attack in all sorts of ways pending on the person health and how bad they have it. I have sollwen arms and legs but others dont and i have issues with my teeth however others dont, pending on you and how bad you have fibromyalgia as symptons change

It's too late now, but I apologize for the short answer. What Ididn't really realize untill the following post is that symptoms of fibromyalgia change. Mine have remained a constant over the past 18 yrs.

The things that are now changing is the severity of pain and protruding discs c-1 through c-7 along with pinched nerves in the neck and R hip that goes out quit a bit during the day.

I don't know which type of Dr. to go see.

testing for neuropathy came back off the charts along with pain level. Dr. thought I may have lupus but don't have all the symptoms.

Oh well....dr's = $$ and when on limited income thats just not something you jump up and decide to do.

thanks for listening and again,

I'm sorry for the short answer/

hello and thanks for your response ,there are so many things this illnesses can display that i am sure we dont have them all i have had so many confused messages from doctor's that all i can say to you is to kick back as much as you can and try and find out what is going on with you , no ones knows how you are feeling in side your head but you and therefore that bit i do understand very much that all normal things to others are not to people like you and me

in the UK the cost of going to a Doctor is free but they still watch all costs of the drugs they give you health should not be about money but about getting better .keep trying
