My mom is having a flareup and she says that her hands
and feet are hot and her throat feels hot/burning sensations? what is this from?

Hi again! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

Your mom's hands and feet burning could be from Raynauds Phenomenon, which is a problem with circulation that goes with Lupus. They are probably acting up because she is having a flare up. As for the throat burning, that I am not sure of. Does she have tummy troubles? Or GERD (Gastro-Esophageal Reflux disease). I have GERD and often get burning in my throat. I suppose Sjogrens Syndrome could cause some burning too.. Sjogrens is a disorder that also can go with Lupus that causes dry eyes, mouth, nose etc. Lupus has many different problems that can go with it! Is your mom feeling better? I hope so! Send my regards- from one "Lupie" to another!

Hi Angelic

We are going to the Doctor today to discuss her blood test which was "haywire" according to the Rhemy
He might change her meds???

Hi I'm new here as only recently tested positive for ANA. However I have hypothyroid and see many others on the thyroid board have burning sensation in feet though noone has yet had a dr that could explain why. I have same sensation at times. Has your mom been tested for hypothyroid? Certain thyroid conditions are also autoimmune related.
