Thread, thank you so much for your reply, as I said I am not used to using chat rooms so will have to learn as I go along, I am a 68 yr old female, I was diagnosed with fibro in 1990, I also have osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, had surgery 3 years ago in the lumbar area, had several bulging disc, one had compressed the nerve bed, Dr. had a hard time getting the nerve loose, when he did he said he rotoruted the disc to make it wider, this surgery failed, thus I have neuropathy on the left side. I also have a large bulging disc in the cervical area and three in the thoracic area but they bulged up instead of out. I had a hysterectomy in 1988 so I never had the hot flashes, they are continuing to do hormone replacement. I have seen my arthritis specialist, heart specialist, endocrinologist, gastroenterologist, he did find a precancerous poloyp that will have to be taken out surgically as it is flat and he could not get it when doing the scope. I take several medications, oxycontin 2 times a day and endocet for break through pain, i usually need 4 day, I have treason to help me sleep at night, of course I take the hormone, and synthroid. I am low on vit d, so take 3000 units of that a day, I have diazepam prn, baby aspirin daily since they found that i have a left side bundle blockage of the heart i just recently found out that my blood pressure is running high so I have lispinoil for that. Sounds like I am a hypocondriack, but I can verify each of the problems that I described. The burning sensation is what the doctors are trying to figure out, so far no luck, we have a great pharmacy here and they are thinking it is nerve problem. They have a problem with my medications as I seem to react to almost everything they give me. I am unable to use the nsaids, i am on the same pain medications and have been for a long time as I have allergies to morphine, and the patches can't be used as I am allergic to tape. The burning sensation began in just patches on my body, now it is all over, nothing seems help, the tiredness I can tolerate, but this heat is getting to me, I should also mention that I have a horrible diet, ice cream, toast, graham crackers , i would skip meals altogether if my spouse didn't holler , thanks for listening perhaps there are others out there that have had this problem too, I would like to hear more about you if you would like to share.
