He has been my support system and I am so thankful to have him as you say, getting up is a challenge. The feeling you have sounds like neurological things that some people state they have like burning. I am not a doctor, I can only relate what I hear and read. Fibromylagia tends to feel like being beat up all over, that achy flu feeling. That is what I feel and what I read others feel. You have a heightened sense of pain and what would usually not bother you, such as a touch feels as someone had beat you. I feel like my pain level gets stuck and does not go down. I hope that you feel better and go get it check out. Shingles feel different also, you can do a Google research on nerve pain symptoms and read and see if it matches what you feel. Your doctor might help you out also. Good Luck and hope things get better. Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Rich, I have RSD and it is a constant burning pain. Now, mine is a very severe case as in how bad the pain is and how quickly it manifested into the stage it is now. I'm not sure if anyone else with RSD has it come and go but RSD pain makes your skin so sensitive that you can't even stand the air currents in a room caused by central heat and air. Having clothing or sheets even touch your skin will send your pain off the charts. For me, I can't stand the sun shining on my skin either.

Actually, it is bothering me tonight and it has not for a week or two. It's a weird feeling and I'm concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
