I too have this problem, mine starts in my upper chest and up my neck.
also have the skin on chest and neck is red and a little hot to touch.sometimes my arms hurt under near my armpit almost like i have swollen glands. I too get dizzy and weak and have fatigue. I am a 54 year old woman who has lupus for 11 years. maybe it has something to do with the autoimune system. my doctor also doesn't seem to know what it can be. Hope we can all find a cure.

In the past month or so I started feeling the same kind of icy hot feeling around the front and sides of my head.  Now I sometimes feel it in other places as well, such as my arm or upper back.  I am a 22 year old female, and I just keep feeling worse all the time.  I also get dizzy/woozy and very fatigued.  I seems like it might be something auto immune but I don't have any type of diagnosis yet.

omg, yes.  Sounds like you are describing me to a T.  I haven't even told my Dr.  I am afraid he will think I am crazy.

Well, since I posted last on this particular sight my symptoms have grown into a real nightmare.  I am not trying to scare you, but I now have muscle twitches, muscle cramps, burning skin, burning mouth, stocking glove sensation on my arms, hands, feet, legs and my face.  My face, knees, and elbows feel like somebody rubbed then with a wire brush.  I am now having terrible itching episodes like I have poison ivy or something all over my body, but my skin looks normal. I am currently being seen at John Hopkins.  All of my test are normal. They are scratching there heads.  They say I have some kind of peripheral nerve disorder, but no indication of what kind because all of my test come up normal.  Go figure!!!  So basically, I am just taken a bunch of anti seizure meds that don't do S- - -!!  I hope this email finds you well and that yours does not progress into something like mine!!! Alot of these things can be as simple as a vitamin deficiency or something.  Let's hope that is what you are dealing with.  

Take Care!!!

I am a 27 yrs old female and only started havinIg a feeling of icy hot on my skin after taking zoloft because I was depressed after trying meth for two days in the beginning of January.   I've taken zoloft before because I suffer from chronic depression and anxiety. I have never had any problems with taking medication before and now I am scared to take anything. I hadn't taken any medication since then, but two weeks ago I smoked weed and the symtoms (symptoms) came back along with the feelings of depression and anxiety. I am afraid that the feeling won't go away and I'll be stuck felling like this for the rest of my life.

Make sure that you have a full Western Blot test for Lyme disease. The best places are to use are the Igenix labs or to have the lab at Stoney Brook handle it. Lyme is often not detected when labs are not sophisticated in their evaluations (LabCorp for instance may miss it) Since you mentioned JH, I'm assuming that you may be in the mid-Atlantic where Lyme is very prevalent. I have it, as to a number of others who I've known. Check out the website www.ilads.org. It will tell you more on Lyme disease, symptoms, doctors, etc. Good Luck.
