I posted this on Fibro. board also
when I 1st wake up every morning My back and arms and hands feel like I have a severe sunburn!? It lasts for 1/2 hr or until I get up and start moving.

Drs look at me like I'm crazy (which DUH) and I can not for the life of me find anyone else who experiances this symptom.

any thoughts?

When my anxiety is high I get flushes of heat all over but mostly in my face. It doesn't show but I feel it and I am not sure how to stop it but to use my coping skills. I hope this helps. I hope you feel better soon.

Everyone is a little different, my upper back and shoulders would do this, I think the reason it go's away when
we get up and move is the distraction. Peace

It happens to me but at different times...the "burning" sensation has got something to do with nerves, I would check into seeing a neurologist! Good Luck! (-:

Laineyk,

How long have you been having this symptom? Another question I want to ask is do you live in a warm climate?? Do you have anxiety and are you on any medication for the anxiety??

Hope to hear back from you soon!!!

Hope you are feeling better in the meantime!!!

for almost 2 years, no, I live in the Northeast, cold, and snow right now, yes HIGH anxiety and I take Zoloft along with clonazepam, but they do minimal to combat my problems

Lainey,

Wow, 2 years is a long time. I know when I first started back on my anxiety meds, I had some flushing feelings but they went away rather quickly.

Do you think it could possibly be your Fibromyalgia? Our bodies are so crazy sometimes, giving us sensations and feelings that we don't want. Do you ever go into chat? I would love to talk to you if you do!

Here's hoping that you woke up today WITHOUT the burning on your back!!!

Hugs,
Amy

Lainey, burning sensations is a symptom of anxiety. This is the one symptom that I get most often now since I have began to understand anxiety and panic. This sensation can come and go at all times, which it does with me. Actually, it will wake me in the middle of the night, I will throw off the covers because I am "burning up" thinking its the covers making me hot...it isn't. I find this sensation to be annoying but nothing that disabling....like what I used to deal with.
