Burning Cheeks/face And Head
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone get burning of the face that is actually visible? Everything I read is that Fibro is the ‘invisible illness’ but mine isn’t, I burn with pain and actually visually burn too, so confused, the medical profession just give no answers 😢

Not uncommon in people with fibromialgia.

Symptoms
Facial flushing with mastocytosis usually comes on rapidly. It is most prominent on the face and upper trunk and may have reddish-brown bumps. The face usually becomes red and hot and can be very itchy (pruritic.) It may also feel like it is burning or on fire.
changes in the blood flow in the face

Other Symptoms With Mastocytosis
In addition to facial flushing, people with mastocytosis often experience symptoms throughout their body caused by the release of large amounts of histamine or other chemicals. Some symptoms include:

Palpitations
Low blood pressure
Chest pain
Explosive diarrhea
Nausea and vomiting
Abdominal pain
Fatigue

Triggers
Many people with mastocytosis cannot identify the triggers which result in flushing, but some people have found that exercise, heat, or anxiety are a possible trigger.
Medications such as opioid narcotics like morphine and codeine, and aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen or naproxen can also start a flushing attack.

I have exactly those symptoms but I don't take Opioids, ibuprofen but I do take Naproxen.

Definitely seem to get them much more often. Thanks for the information. Much appreciated. 💖
