| Re: Does Fibro cause skin pain
Oh hon, so sorry you are suffering so much. Yes ive been diagnosed by 3 doctors as having fibro. My SKIN HURTS. Its my nerves as well they say. Apparently fibro sometimes destroys or harms nerve endings (going by what the docs said, not my own research) and you end up with skin feeling like its burning. Sometimes it runs along your arms length. Mine runs from around under my arm pit down the elbow , to the wrist area. Then on my left shoulder/neck area. Then on my left waist/hip area. Sometimes the right side is affected but mostly the left. Its getting bad enough to where its heading up the neck up to the left ear.
Right now im in a bad flareup due to stress (my parents caretaker), havent had time off, and the weather is bad. SO i totally understand. Not sure what they can do. I dont do anything for it, specific, i do take my lortab plus soma and cymbalta every single day. Talk to your doctor, maybe he can give you something for it, mine doesnt know what to give me other than neurotin or i think thats the name cant spell it. That does fix the problem but makes my brain feel like something is crawling around up there. Real creepy feeling and i just couldnt get used to the side effect. Good luck hon, maybe youll get some more answers on here to your question.
