Hi,

I am reaching out to others because over the years I’ve had unusual and varied symptoms that I just cannot seem to figure out. Most of my symptoms are painless,;fatigue, vertigo and tingling of my hands, but the times I do have pain, it is excruciating. Recently after a hike in the mountains, I had severe pain in my right back, above my kidneys. I chalked it up to pulling a muscle while hiking or just overdoing it. This pain was severe. It hurt constantly, as well as to turn to my right, but not to touch and felt deep within. I waited a few days and did some energy work; qigong. My pain felt somewhat better, then a few days later the pain transitioned to my left side! I knew this was no longer a muscle issue. Now it has returned to my right side. These unusual symptoms began to happen to me after I received a flu shot many years ago and have continued to escalated. The fist symptom was complete pain everywhere on my body, it hurt just to put a tee shirt on my skin, it felt like it was on fire. As I’ve gotten older and the toll these painful symptoms take it has become depressing and hard to just write it off and get up and go. I find speaking to doctors very difficult, when I asked to be tested for HH at a young age the doctor laughed in my face. When I did finally convince a doctor to test me it was confirmed I have HH, which I manage. So any advice or others who have endured a similar experience I would like to hear from. Many thanks!

Have you had a MRI for MS? Might be worth doing. The spots or whatever you want to call them will show up if you have MS.

It's actually alot more than just an MRI. Keep in mind the way the doctors are going to do this is for them to rule out the diseases that mimic MS. They will probably do about 8 or 10 tests from memory to cognitive to a spinal tap. That was the last thing my doctor did before he said I had MS.

I just came across your post. I hope you have had further testing and found some answers. If not, My MSAA Community has a hub here with a lot of members that respond in helpful ways.

I happen to have sibling with hemachomatosis. I have ms and heart disease along with other things.

Keep living that healthy lifestyle, you got this!

Hope today is a good day!🫧

Wow never heard from anyone else feeling like on fire from the inside, I had that sensation for about a month or so with increasing intensity till over most of one side of my body. What is HH?
