Burning sensations

[MrsMais]

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if anyone has experienced burning sensations.  I have been waking up the past couple of nights with my right hand burning and stiff.  Its not hot to the touch or red. It's just a burning pain.   I have had the burning sensations in feet and thighs also. This morning I feel so disoriented sort of confused at times.  I don't know much about Fibromyalgia except that I have it and it's painful and tiring.  I have no one to talk to about this so please anyone help.

I was diagnosed with FMS in 2008.  The only thing I have learned is everyday/hour is different.  Before 2008 we tried the memory foam mattress topper and then moved to an adjustable bed.  I still have nights that I feel like I'm laying on a pile of rocks, but it is less often.  Burning and stiffness in right arm started last night-not the first time.  My back and left thigh are also burning tonight.  In addition, there is the feeling of creepy crawley bugs in my feet and legs.  Gabapentin was no better than aspirin for me, but it works for some people.I was weaned of of Cymbalta when I started Lyrica. last year.  This is the best I have felt in years.  I also have Meloxicam, Tramadol and Flexeril.  The last two I can take more than once a day as needed.  Good luck to all of us.

BTW I have found that aqua aerobics really helps.  It will hurt  for at least the 1st week but it is worth it.  The more you sit, the more stiff you become.  You have to move.  If you are retired or disabled ask your insurance about Silver Sneakers or Silver and Fit or any exercise program.  I have free memberships to two large exercise places.

I have experienced burning sensations in my feet, legs, hands, and arms for the past three months.  I have suffered with fibromyalgia for the past nine years.  Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse with this condition, the burning made its debut. I sympathize with anyone who has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

I believe the sleep aid barely work. I take my Motrin 800's. They don't work for crap. Once in a while I get into someone's Vicodin 750's. Yeah they work. I get 2 hours of sleep before the pain wakes me up again.

I am on a Medicaid spend down now. Just before that happened my doctor told me I have Fibro. I was wondering about the aches and pains changing places myself. It seems as though some days it's here or there. or some days it's every where, even the bottoms of my feet. lately I have been having burning sensations (how I landed on this forum). my other thing is, if fibro doesnt affect your joints, then why are my joints now snap, crackle, and popping? can't wait until Dec when I have insurance again. The Motrin 800's aren't touching this anymore

Does it feel like someone is putting out a fire in you. It's a doused feeling.

I have been suffering since August 2009. Female, 58.  Has anyone's fibr come on suddenly?    While driving my arms felt an electricy bi-laterally.  Dizziness, anxiety and depression followed.  Past year major lower back and hip pain and muscle spasms in neck and back.   Been to many doctors, many tests.
Never been depressed or anxietal in my life until 09.
Does fibro come on suddenly?  What are best treatment options?
