Burning Question

I burn all over deeper than my skin. Wake up In early morning and everything feels cold then the burning begins, sometimes in waves. A couple years ago diagnosed with Fibro. Had not seen a rheumatologist since then. Saw her today she thinks it's a flare-up but took blood also. Does anyone else experience their Fibro this way? If so, what do you do for comfort?

Hi MJDreamer.

Look at possible underlying causes like adrenal fatigue leading also to
possible low thyroid function and a myriad of other symptoms with a good likelihood of mimicking Fibromyalgia.
Note that adrenal fatigue is not recognized by conventional Endocrinology.
Your best bet is an ND.
Also if you're experiencing ongoing thyroid issues, you need Free T3, Free T4 and Reverse T3 testing. Standard serum testing for TSH, T3 and T4 do not reveal cellular function.  Again, NDs are preferred over Endos, who
adhere to their strict and perhaps controversial protocols.

This is not intended to replace medical advice.

If you need further details post again or send me a message.

Best wishes.

Hello,
Fibromyalgia is a condition that develops over time. Before making the diagnosis of fibromyalgia it is important to rule out other diseases and conditions. Chronic fatigue syndrome, mental stress are few conditions which can mimic fibromyalgia. Muscle weakness, pain ,burning pain and fatigue are few of the common symptoms of fibromyalgia. Medications like Duloxetione, pregabalin and Milnacipram have been approved for treating fibromyalgia.Duloxetine, Lyrica, and milnacipran are medications that are approved specifically for treating fibromyalgia. The goal of treatment in this condition is to improve sleep and pain tolerance. Medicines should always be used along with exercise and behavior therapy. Medications like Duloxetione, pregabalin and Milnacipram have been approved for treating fibromyalgia. It will be best to discuss it with your doctor about which medication will be most suitable for you. Do keep us posted.
Best of luck and kind regards! Take adequate rest and sleep. See a primary care physician.Hope it helps.
Best regards!
