Re: odd burning sensation/

[Guest guest]

Hi - I am from Reno, NV. I have this

sensation on both arms (thankfully not at the same

time) from wrist to elbow. Predominately it happens on

the left side. I always thought it was

residual nerve problems from when I had a horrible

outbreak of

shingles three years ago, as I've heard that some

individuals never rid themselves completely of the

nerve pains associated with shingles. Now, with a

semi-diagnosis of fibro in January (my Dr. is not 100%

certain, but agrees that I have all of the markers (!)

I think it may be more linkes to the FM. I have an

appt in October to talk with my Dr. about the FM

diagnosis - I deeply feel she does not recognize FM,

so I may be on the hunt for another Dr. In any case,

I hope my experience makes some sesnse in the realm of

the " weird burning sensations " .

All the best, R

Thanks ,

I definitely do have burning with my fibro, but it is associated with

the pain. In other words I always have burning and pain. This spot was

not painful other than feeling like I had burned myself. Quite weird,

but who knows, fibro is weird in the things that pop up, as is CFS. I

have thankfully never had shingles as I do understand it is very

painful. I had chicken pox when I was 25 which is rather late in the

day to have it. So, I won't be surprised to get shingles one day, but

so far I haven't and am hoping it stays that way.

I hope you *nener* get shingles - they are miserable!

I tell you with the changing of the seasons, going

into

fall on cooler weather, I can tell this is going to be

a very painful

winter. When the buring starts, if I don't try ti

quiet the skin

as soon as possible, it seems like it won't go away.

I've

been up entire nights trying to find comfort, but if I

start

to calm the skin at first sensation, it goes much

better.

I try ice packs, and something soothing like aloe vera

and

some baby lotion (hey what ever works, right?! lol)

I've no idea if this would help, but when I had chicken pox I was

told to soak in a tub with an Aveeno powder poured in. Can't recall

what. In any case, it did help and I have noticed now that they

have all sorts of lotions out now as well. Don't know anything

about them.

Thanks for that! I have tried eveery skin-relief

product available.

Finally, when my grandma was passing away, I was in

the hospital

seeing her and her Parkinson's Dr. happened to be in

there. She

mentioned to him that I had shingles and was

suffering. He scripted

me Neurontin after examining me. It did take the edge

off, but

I had them so bad that I was left with residual pain.

So if ever you

need a medicine to deaden nerve pain - I do recommend

this

medicine.

I’ll have to keep that in mind.
