Getting very frustrated. I have autoimmune disease, hypothyroid, sjogrens, psoriasis and interstitial lung disease.
Apart from lumps in lymph glands all down my arms, breathing issues etc, last night my feet were icy cold, could not get them warm, but the soles of my feet were burning. Does anyone else have this. All my tests come back fine, but I'm suffering bad fatigue, sleep most of day and night, my arms are getting weaker and can't organise myself at all. Went out for lunch yesterday and it took me forever to get organised and fell asleep as soon as I got home...

So sorry to hear that you're suffering from so many health issues, I can empathize with most of them. I've never experienced or heard of the icy cold feet with burning soles. But when you describe the lumps from your lymph glands, I wondered whether you know about Dercum's Disease (adiposis dolorosa)? I have many lumps and have been diagnosed with Dercum's, so just thought I'd mention it as a possible explanation of your lumps. Hope someone else here can solve the mystery of the icy & burning feet!
The problem with your feet sounds like Peripheral Neuropathy. Have any doctors told you that you have PN?
Unfortunately these infirmities are our lot in life and I have come to realise that no-one is ultimately going to rescue us. That's why we need family and friends who understand and can support us.
Message boards like this, of like-sufferers provide a sounding board between others who truely do know many of the difficulties.
I hope you are feeling a little better than you were!
I have weakness in my arms and legs, and some days are worse than others. Also have lumps on arms, legs & trunk, extreme fatigue, lethargy, dry eyes & mouth, and difficulty concentrating to complete complex tasks. Did you think your lumps might be caused by adiposis dolorosa?
Sorry Xxxxxxx, I just saw your question. I have weakness in both arms and legs, but have no way of knowing if it's related to the Adiposis dolorosa. I also have chronic fatigue and thought that maybe the weakness was due to lack of vigorous exercise. There is no cure for Adiposis dolorosa, but there are some treatments that may be helpful. For example, lymphatic massage, the RAD diet, and light exercise are recommended.
