Hi there,

I’m having trouble typing because my hands, arms and back are burning!

I’ll take a break but whenever I think I can be of any help I’ll post.

Thank you all.

Hi, Chinchi, I am sorry love, This has to be the cruellest, Disease in the world, not able to do much, then this weird burning sensation, that feels like Thousands of little hot needles, burning your Hands Feet, and everywhere else it decides to strike, Have you not got an Emergency Number for your Specialist? You need to get one because at least you can get some advice.

Hi Jax553,

Thank you, dear. Yesterday I went to Rheumatologist and she has prescribed so many drugs... she said I probably have fibromyalgia and has asked for more blood tests. The drugs are. supposed to help with the fatigue and pain but she said the burning is more difficult to address. An antidepressant, Venlafaxine, is the choice she has given me. I’m not keen on this approach but maybe I should try just to see if I can function! So sorry I can’t be of more help here... hands are sore and stiff, and the burning is plain torture!

Thank you for caring 💕🤗
