Hey guys! I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia and I’ve been dealing with symptoms for about 3 years. One MAJOR thing that bothers me terribly and its very regular thing is my face and ears flaring up red hot. It’s embarrassing and extremely uncomfortable. Most times I have to lay an ice pack on my face to cool down. Just wondering if I’m not alone. I attached a picture it’s not a good one but I know we all don’t care on here!

I agree I would never attempt to diagnose anyone either. I have had the same symptoms when I believe my fibromyalgia started. Do an ai search on flushing faces and fibromyalgia. I do wish you well.

@AmberAbdo I would never attempt to diagnose anyone of course but it really sounds like erythromelalgia to me. I hope you can get answers and find relief.

I've had both ears get red hot before and it can be painful. Ice packs or a cool rag is what I have used too. Hugs and hoping you can find some relief!

I only have it in the face but it's red all the times and makeup doesn't seem to help me, lol. I just try to laugh alot and accept help when needed, it's hard but we learn to do it. God bless you and have an awesome day!!!
