I'm pretty sure I have Erythromelalgia, for over 15yrs my palms of my hands have been bright red, (not glossy red though) and past few years when it becomes hot and humid they burn and hurt, kills me to close my hand into a fist. Now Ive learned it can be primary just have it alone and that it is the opposite of Raynauds (which my sister does have). Ive read it can be secondary to MS or it can be Hemachromatosis. I know to ask my doctor for the Serum iron test and ferrritin test, maybe the %saturation and TIBC. Is there anything else I should worry about with this Erythromelalgia problem??
Second, I have Fibro (both hips hurt and lower back buttock burns on one side)...but I have MANY MS symptoms that get brushed off as anxiety. Off balance twitches, hands shake off and on, flu like feeling..numbness like feelings (but not numb),once I put my hand in COLD water and had to pull it out because it felt like I was being scalded (happened 7yrs ago and never since) sometimes when Im in the shower the water looks like fire balls. This happens once in awhile.
This has gone on for at least 15yrs with hands and 9yrs with the anxiety/ms like symptoms.
Any thoughts on tests or possibilities for my hands? And what do you make out of the MS like symptoms, or is it just my anxiety disorder (NOTE- I'm hyper sensitive, and I have a REALLY easily startled response).
