Feet get red hot and go red underneath

[Tray]

I've not been on medication, and still get burning painful feet. I am newly diagnosed with Ceoliac disease, any idea why I'm like this?

Hello Tray, I think that there are a number of us Fibro sufferers who have problems with their feet. I too get hot, burning pains in my feet especially at night. My GP said it was just a part of my condition though so I didn't get any extra help for it. I think it might be worthwhile talking to your own GP about your symptoms as it could be linked to another problem or underlying condition in your case especially as you have other health issues in addition to Fibro. Do let us know how you get on. All best wishes to you. Jane x

what is ceoliac disease puzzled jacksiex

Ceoliac disease is a auto immune disease where the body is allergic to gluten. That means I have to eat gluten free food, it's very boring and bland.

Hello Tray, this can be a symptom of having Fibro, but also RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome) which I have too. As mentioned above the symptoms you describe also relate to other conditions so it's best to mention everything to your GP so all this can be looked in to and you can be treated appropriately.

We always advise people if they have symptoms that they aren't sure about, it's always best to check with your GP for reassurance as well as ensuring the correct treatment.

Please let us know how you get on and I hope you get some relief from this soon.

I had this symptom before being diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. My feet were swollen, red, burning, itchy with painful heels - I found it difficult walking. Once on T3 only meds, the feet symptoms went but my Fibro only improved when I upped my dose of T3 to 150 mcg.

Hypothyroid and Fibromyalgia symptoms are very much interrelated and many people with Fibro symptoms are actually Hypothyroid but are undiagnosed as such, as their lab tests do not exceed a TSH of 10. My problem was that I had a low free T3 which showed that I was lacking the active thyroid hormone T3. The fT3 test is not often done and I had to assert myself to get it!

I diagnosed myself as Hypothyroid before getting a formal diagnosis. My GP refused to believe the consultant's diagnosis as my TSH was around 6, so I had to get the PCT involved so I could get a second opinion which confirmed me hypothyroid with fibromyalgia. It seems we have to rely on ourselves to diagnose, treat and pursue our physicians which only exacerbates our condition and keeps us from getting better. I also blame flawed guidelines and ignorance in the medical profession, including no joined up thinking.

Oh I should mention this when I'm seeing a Doctor on Monday. I do feel really ill. Thank you all.
