Hi again everyone.  Yes, having one of those bad weeks im afraid.  My skin is burning everywhere!  I can feel little twitches all over my body and my muscles are very sore.  I dont know what to do anymore.  Anti depressants dont work for me.  Anti seizure meds dont work either.  Just had my B12 levels checked and my vit D and they were both normal.

How do I get through this?  Has anyone figured out what causes skin burning pain in us?  Thanks

Nancy

Nancy, when you get these episodes of the burning skin sensations, do you notice that your skin gets pink or red? I have this happen due to a form of erythema.. associated with a CTD. I do have the burning sensations without any discoloration due to fibro too.

If you are having any red discoloration with it...take pics and call your doc.
Hoping you can get answers :)

Hugs, Robin

No, no red markings or anything like that

Nancy,

Are you using a laundry detergent or strong soap for bathing that might be irritating your skin? I have to use Seventh Generation laundry soap and I use a soap for sensitive skin.

Also try if in fact you do not eating any sugar or consuming any caffiene and see if that helps you. I can not do either.

Are you exposed to any cigarette smoke? The caffiene and sugar and cigarette smoke can give me the twitches.

Good luck to you.

I do use a detergent for sensitive skin and ivory soap. However I had to switch soaps temporarily since I was out. Dont know if thats causing the flare or not but good point.

Hi Nancy,

My b/f was using Ivory soap and he has sensitive skin. What we are now both using is a liquid soap Equate for sensitive skin that you can buy at Walmart. It's working better for him.

Good luck to you.

I had skin pain/burning many years ago on my lower arm. I felt like I burned it. I could almost take a Sharpie and mark was it outlined. I couldn't hang my arm down and let it touch my sides. Air hurt!

My Dr. at the time thought I had MS. However tests proved otherwise. Since them, I've had several episodes of areas of burned skin, but nothing like that first time. Dr. said for me it was my nerves that were just super sensitized. Who knows why.

Who knows why for a lot of our 'stuff'.
