Hi everyone, I am not for sure what is causing this, if it is my FM or if I have yet another problem.... but the other day I woke up feeling like my skin was on fire I put on my sweater and it made it worse. Now today, my day started off good, but now as the evening comes on my arm is starting again? Can anybody shed any light on this for me please all I want to do is cry.

Members warmly responded to someone experiencing a frightening burning skin sensation, with many sharing they experience similar symptoms in various body parts including legs, feet, arms, hands, face, and back, often without any visible rash. Several members offered practical strategies they've found helpful, such as using heating blankets, taking Benadryl or daily allergy medication, applying steroid creams, and getting blood work checked for anemia, while others connected the sensation to anxiety, Raynaud's, or fibromyalgia nerve issues. A recurring theme was the deep validation and emotional support members provided to one another, acknowledging the confusion and distress of these unusual sensations and reminding each other they're not alone in their struggles.

I’ve had these symptoms but turned out I was quite anaemia. Maybe worth getting your bloods checked by the GP

I get this every now and then. It is usually on my back. Just my shirt touching it feels like it sets me on fire... forget wearing a bra. I have been to the point where I wanted noone to touch me.

I wish I had an answer.
Along with fibro come some very unusual sensations, often painful.
I sympathize.
I was crying too today.
