Q: Burning Skin - Aching Body !
asked by: sherrydenice on June 5th, 2007

I have had burning skin sensations on my face and arms and legs for the past 5 years. Long story short... I have seen a number of doctors and have had lots of tests run - including brain MRIs. Everything has come back normal. My arms and legs ache almost daily and my skin feels like it's sunburned. I will get this and it will last anywhere from one month to three months and then go away. I will feel fine for a few months then it comes back.

I take Zoloft and started it back in 2003 after all of this got really bad. All of my pains went away within a week of starting Zoloft. The drs. tried to assure me it's from stress and anxiety. I really believed them until the burning came back a few months later (milder though). I got off the Zoloft 7 mts afterwards and within 2 months, the aching and burning came back. I got back on the Z and felt fine again! I have done this 3 times like a big dummy!

I am still on Z and had a breakthrough of the burning and pain that started back in March and has yet to leave me.

Does this sound like anything anyone else has experienced?

I worry about MS all the time! I have seen an MS specialist twice who tells me that I'm fine.

I wish I could quit the worrying about MS! Any ideas???

Thanks!

Sherry

I have been feeling the same things except on my back. It has caused me to worry that I have a cancer. I am only 15 too and i worry about it nearly all the time. My biggest fear is dying. I know its weird but its how it had made me feel
