Members connected over the distressing experience of burning pain in their arms and legs that feels like being on fire or rubbing a severe sunburn, with many describing how the sensation worsens at night and often disrupts sleep around 3 a.m. Several members shared that the burning typically occurs in their feet and lower legs during flares, which can be triggered by stress or worry, and that rubbing the affected areas intensifies the discomfort. A recurring theme was the emotional toll of this pain, the frustration of finding no effective relief despite trying various fibromyalgia medications, and the importance of getting new symptoms evaluated by a doctor rather than assuming they are fibromyalgia-related.
