Been getting scary burning like pains in elbows head fingers knees then have a cold patch on my leg. Yesterday my hip was so bad 😢 Doctors diagnosed me just with fibro but I find it hard to believe I've got worse and worse other the past few months. It's the head stuff that scare me the most!

I haven't been given any meds yet and got to see a rheumatologist next week I've just been taking setraline an anti depressant for about 2 weeks now. But had all these problems for 2 months now was given citalopram first but that just Made me ten times worse! Horrendous burning I just feel like no ones listening to me and think I'm making everything up 😢 I can't look forward to the future as I really think I have a serious disease I have 2 young children and no one believes me not even my partner, doctor or family

Hope the rheumi can give you some answers. I do have burning pains mostly across my back hands and feet. Fibro is a strange illness we never know what symptom it is going to give us next.x

Sorry to hear you are suffering so. Yes I get patches and spots that feel like I have burned myself or hurt it in some way. I have been dealing with it in my fingers since I was a child, but over the past couple of years it has come up on my arms more. I will ask my husband if the spot is red or looks hurt and he'll say no , then I know it is just my fibro.

From my understanding fibro is an over active nervous system. So these, to my understanding is just a prime example of a nerve over reacting. Maybe somewhere it is being compressed by a tight muscle or something. Not sure why it happens, but I like to think I understand. :)

By head stuff do you mean, memory/ fibro fog? Yes, that is a stresser. Have you tried fish oil/ omega 3 to see if it helps you? Blueberries are supposed to be good for memory.

I'm so sorry you are getting worse. I know I have progressed and the issues are global instead of only here and there. But I have found a few things that have helped me stabilize and stay functional in my life.

Everyone is different so what helps one won't always help another.

I found help with juicing, Apple cider vinegar drinks, stretching morning and night, foam rolling/any type of myofascial release, magnesium chloride oil diluted with distilled water, not sitting or moving too much- resting often but not for too long at a time, a regular bedtime and wake up time, Meditation/ mindful moments. All of those things have truly helped me continue my living and functioning as a mom, wife, house keeper and homeschooler.

I hope you can find something to help you in your life.

Take care×

Thanks for your replies! My list is endless that's why the doctors won't believe me and have put it down to fibromyalgia because I have a lot of those similar symptoms but it's the pains in my head I get that scare me and the burning pains in elbows and fingers. I've never been a person to suffer with headaches so don't get them but every symptom you can have of an illness I have it's like I'm waiting for a mark, bump something to show them before it's too late! I had blood tests and the bruise took nearly two weeks to heal I know something's not right and scared 😳

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you can find answers soon. All my head pain is due to tight muscles, or so far that I can tell.

Good luck×

I itch, and have shooting pains even under my fingernails. I'm not sure if it's from fibro or meds. Today the itch was really bad on hands so I have broken blood vessels. It looks awful. I use a pres. cream and add allergy med. usually at night tho I did today so now I'll have morning sleepiness. Pains will sometimes make a knee give out. So crazy. I even have trouble turning over in bed. Grrrrrr. M.A.

Not what you're looking for?
