Burning fingers?

[shoshin]

This afternoon all the sudden the top third of the fingers started started burning horribly. I am generally feeling better the past few days and was surprised by this sudden symptom, but for quite a while couldn't think of any possible cause except the MS.

Then I remembered that I was washing some stuff with hot tap water and I think I had the water all the way over to hot. So maybe I really did burn myself? The tops of my fingers are bit pink and feel warm (unlike the fingers on the right, which are my more typical cold).

The pain seems to have subsided thankfully. I have tremendous admiration for those of you who somehow endure this kind of pain day in and day out.

Ouch! Sorry to hear about your toe.

I think I must've burnt myself a bit and had a delayed reaction--delayed enough that it took me quite a while to put two and two together and I felt kinda stupid when I did. But at least the pain is gone.

I know I should be careful, but it can be hard because there seems to be this real disconnect between what I intellectually think should be painful and what actually bothers me. I sometimes think this is a plus (after I've stubbed my toe), but in reality it's probably more of a danger than a benefit.

I get burning symptoms too but mostly in my legs. They feel like they are on fire. It drives me nuts.

If you did burn yourself with the  tap water, you must have not felt it right away which isn't good either. You have to be careful when your sensory stuff is messed up. I had to learn the hard way.

I use to wear toe rings. I always liked them because I live in sandals all summer long. Last year when I started to have symptoms, I was sitting on my couch and a sharp stabbing pain came across my toes out of nowhere. I screamed. Lifted my foot to see what the heck had happened. My toe ring was bent into my toe. There was a pretty good sized hole and from the look of it, it had been that way for days.

For some reason I didn't feel it when it initially happened. I felt it when I was off my feet sitting there. Needless to say I don't wear toe rings anymore.
