Normally, I don't have a problem with burning skin, but today I do, but then again, it seems like my joints are hot also.

I get the burning in my skin, muscles and joints often. It is hard to deal with at times, but I guess it is just another sign of fibro

Fibro's the pits. Things are hurting in my body that I didn't even know I had. How can anything be so systemic?

Hi,
I am new to this forum. I have had fibro for a good 20 years and all it does is give me new surprises. When I finally feel good, something new will hurt, like another member said, you get pain in places you didnt know you had. The past few days, my ear lobes and cheeks feel like they are on fire and itch like crazy. The pain comes and goes in my right leg, then to my ankles, and now I am having a swallowing problem, even tho the docs looked down there and said its fine. It feels like I am swallowing over my glands, like they are in the way. Does anyone else ever experience such episodes? Rolling Eyes

Yes, I have that problem frequently. Mostly down my left arm. I'm not sure what to do for it it usually goes away for a while and then comes back. I've kind of learned to deal with it.

Have you gone to a local Chiropractor and had your spine adjusted?

Yes, I have burning skin also, sometimes it is so intense the burning is extremely painful. I have been diagnosed by four different doctors with fibromyalgia over the past thirteen years. Prior to that all the doctors would say was in question form.........what are you depressed about? They made it sound as though I was losing my mind. Since then I have met many more people with the same diagnosis and doctors, at least some doctors, are realizing that this is a true problem.

Burning skin in most cases is associated with something wrong with the spinal nerves. Also with fibhromyalgia many symptoms occur. I really believe most fibromyalgia sufferers have Lyme disease. This is why it is mis-diagnosed and doctors tell their patients, "Its all in your head" the Bowen Institute has a test called the QriBB which can test for lyme disease.
The contact number is 727-937-9077 or www.bowen.org

There is also a natural Remedy for Lyme Disease called Lyme-Blaster

Because fibro is like an invisible syndrome, it is very hard to diagnose. I am finding it is a fight to get disability. I would not be an employee that u could count on to be at work every day. I wonder if anyone else is having the same problem in this area?

I'm a new member who was diagnosed 8 years ago, I do get a burning sensation in my skin on the tops of my thighs an on both arms. It kind of feels like a raw rug burn and it hurts even if a breeze just blows across it. I've found that a cool, damp cloth eases the irritation, but with all things 'fibro', I mostly just cope with it until it fades.

I'm a new user and I'm not sure if my postings are being submitted so you might see my replies twice.

I too suffer occasionally with the burning sensation on my arms and thighs. marzypan: I have been unable to work and have been fighting for disability for the past 3 yrs. It's hard for people to understand that just because you're able to do something one moment doesn't mean you're able to do it the next. If it isn't the symptoms making you unreliable for work, it's the medications/treatments.

On top of having FM, in 2000 I suddenly developed diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol; and in 2003, arthritis in various areas including my neck and lower back and a degenerative impairment [that they can't seem to pinpoint what it is].

I get so tired of doctors saying, "you have to choose which is more important, your health or working" and when you choose your health they suddenly don't believe or won't confirm that your health/symptoms are really that bad. They turn tail and run leaving you with egg on your face and they do this without letting you know that they retracted their support. I found this to be the case at my recent disability hearing. The same doctor who told me to apply for disability, that she would sign any document testifying to my condition flipped and put in my medical records a statement that indicated I was exaggerating my symptoms. Not only that, there was no mention whatsoever of my constant complaints or pleadings for help.

If you're like me and believe that what you tell your doctors and what they tell you goes into you records, BEWARE review you medical records.

Assume that your perspiration is far too acidic and treat accordingly.

Take shower with mild soap. Only wear cleanest clothes.

Reduce intake of acidic foods.

A bath with baking soda added may be helpful.
