Red face My Burning feeling... for 8 years

Hi to everybody, I’m new at this community, I’m a little sad about my problem, because I have it about for 8 years (yeah, is too much), and I can’t get out of it and I don’t know why.

I’m near 25 years old; I will try to be the most conscious that I can. From about 8 years I begin to get some strange symptoms, the most unwanted is that burning felling, I fell that my blood is burning through my veins, and I fell my face hot, and if I can see myself in a mirror, I notice a kind of red color in my face. I fell that every day for years and I’m tired of this situation. I have to tell that the health care in my country is not good at all, and I’m felling so unlucky because any doctor can’t tell me what is going on whit me. Once time, a doctor tells me that its a neurology issue, but he tell me that, he is not secure of this at all. So, I see that it’s so complex illness. I fell the greatest back pain that I ever know, a pain in the back sector near to neck and shoulders (cervical area), every day for years, and I have the bad luck of get another strange thing: I fell my ears burning, and getting so red, and when I come to sleep, obviously its face to the pillow and automatically begin the real unwanted back pain that don’t let me sleep. That’s mean, that I cant sleep in almost any position, it is horrible…

The only important exam that I took is a magnetic resonance, and it’s OK, I don’t have a tumor. About a year I took another exam to discard a hyper thyroid activity, and yes, its result ok.

Only I know how many adjacent symptoms I’m getting by that illness. The most important are:

Insomnia, back pain, heat intolerance, heat and red color in my face, ears and neck, a little tiredness, underweight state, haggard and drained look (I think because the everyday Burning felling, back pain and bad sleeping) and suicide feelings (because the persistent symptoms, especially the awesome back pain).

All this make me to leave the university, loose friends, loose love opportunities, job and study chances. And I say that all of this is so hard that I’m feeling loose my entirely life… I repeat, the burning feeling is son Bad, and the back pain is so Hard. About this last I’ve tried aspirins, ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac, methocarbamol and acetaminophen, but don’t work.

I know that is not easy to tell me by this way what is happing to me. I’m open for ANY, ANY kind of answers, comments. So I have this idea: Anybody that read this can suppose that his or herself have the same condition that me and, the question would be: What to do? What can be the first step? What exams need to take?
Anybody had or have some similar that me? And what they do?

I have waiting some time before post it, so I see that it is the day. I can see that it may be one of the last things that I will try. I just don’t want to fell that symptoms one more time, because in the last months I’m really seeing the sequels of feeling that symptoms all the time. So… please help me, help me.

Lovely,

Swoop.

Sorry for the large of this message, and sorry for my English.

Swoop,


This could very well be a neurological issue.There's additional testing that can be done to find the etology of your symptoms.A new brain and cervical spine MRI with and without contrast.A EMG/NCS to see if the burning is from a neuropathic origin as in peripheral neuropathy.Theres meds that can help with the burning pain,neurontin or lyrica.

Swoop,

You may like to try taking a couple of doses of Sulphur 30c. Sulphur 30c is a safe homeopathic preparation from Sulphur and has been found to be very helpful in heat, burning, redness and pains as you have described. It just might help!

Red face Re: My Burning feeling... for 8 years

Thanks so much to nuffs3 for those names of the exams, and arun*****al58, I will search more about this.

I need to say that the burning feeling is very inside me, like in my nerves, my veins, my blood, not precisely in the muscles, and is not a fever. And because I may make a "no conscientious" relation with it and an anxiety state, the feelings appears in some especial events. So, how I know if it is from my brain or my thoughts? Anyway using logic, I see that is important to discard a very physical condition before to going for a psychiatrist way. What are your opinions about it? and again, How I know if it is from my brain or my thoughts? considering the whole of years that I’m suffering all this. Thank you!

If your doctor can't help you make sure he passes you to a specialist for further tests, don't take "I’m not sure" for an answer from him. With todays technology it's just not good enough
