Burning sensations
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've finally been diagnosed with FMS. After years of drs telling me it is in my head and I need a psych pill. Praise God I have found people that have the same issues that I have. I wanna tell all those previous drs "I told you so!!!!" Thank you each and every one for taking the time to post.
I having a burning on the top side of my body and then an aching deep down when I am having a bad flare which I just had one for 6 days last week. The burning/aching is throughout my whole body when this happens.
Wow I can't believe that after days of checking why my shins get rushes of heat.Doctors look at me like I'm nuts I've been with this fibro since 1997 offically after 5 years of its in your mind.Well I'm sorry for anyone who has this but I'm glad I'm not alone.Even when I explanned it as a hot flash in my legs.The looks I got Then I even told them it was like a dog peed on my leg.I just got put on Lyrica and I hope it works. Mostly a nap works best.It seems like my syptoms are getting worse.So I have to rethink things i want to do and is the next few days of exhaustion worth it.Well I'm glad your all out there to listen to me and I am for you Barb
I don't understand how a doctor can say there is no test for dormant EBV!!!!!!
I am so angry right now I could spit!!
If you "have had EBV" and have built the antibodies it will show up on a blood test!
I have one every year or when I have a FM/ME flare-up to see what the numbers are saying my immune system is saying.
A blood test showing Igg and Agg can show if you have had EBV, if you have the complete antibodies, if it is a past active virus or if it is a present active virus.
Yes, it is in the herpes family, but it is the Mother of these viruses. The other herpes simplex viruses do stay dormant in our spinal fluid unless we get stressed or run down, henceforth, fever sores or genital herpes flare-ups.
With EBV we can be symptomatic but unlike fever sores or genitals herpes, it is not contagious, as my Dr. has me to understand.
SIDE NOTE ---- That being said, I still wonder if EBV being a virus in the herpes family, does it inhabit the spinal fluid and that is how our Substance P , NGF is affected?

Sounds like you have done a great job at lowering you blood sugar and triglycerides! I've been taking fish oil for years now.
Yes, I know what you mean about neuropathy in diabetes taking years to develop as well. I read that information. I do need to be vigilant, since so many in my extended family have type 2 diabetes. Most of them, though, aren't doing what they're supposed to do by any stretch of the imagination. I could still stand to lose another 20-30 lbs, but that's such an improvement from where I was before.
My PCP said that I'm no longer borderline diabetic, because my fasting blood sugar came down below 100 and I lost a lot of weight. My overall cholesterol improved, especially the triglycerides coming down to normal. My only concern left with that has to do with reversing the LDL and the HDL cholesterols, which I'm using fish oil and red yeast rice to do that. My PCP told me about this before my naturopath did, because I certainly don't need any pharmaceuticals for this. It turns out that from information I've read about with CFS/FMS that omega 3's are important supplements for these conditions, too. Of course, I've read information that all people should consider the fish oil omega 3's, including healthy people, just to stay healthy.
From what the naturopath said, she was thinking of two possibilities for me: Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) or Lyme. I was told there isn't really a test for dormant EBV. No tests have been done to rule out Lyme, yet. I know someone who has a really serious case of Lyme that he isn't going to ever be able to get well from. I normally see his wife, but I don't see him too often, because he has such a hard time. From what I understand, though, Lyme disease does have many of the same symptoms as CFS/FMS. I learned about some of the symptoms from him.
For me, the suspicion of EBV does make sense, because only a year and a half ago I had a really awful virus syndrome that lasted an entire month with every symptom under the sun, which changed from day to day. It started out as a mild case of Shingles. Well, they are in the same virus family, so that's not really such a stretch. But, I was told that there isn't any way to find out for sure.
