since this last July I am suffering from burning sensation skin in back, pins and needles and formication in all over the body.

I am wondering if it could be linked to menopause. next week I am going to neurologist for a check just to be sure it is not a pathology or strange disease.

I am worried about that ad my quality of my life is very terrible now.

is there someone with these same symptoms? any tips?

thanks

    Hi Cocci,

    I often feel that burning sensation in my neck and back. sometimes in my arms and chest as well. It gets worse the more stress I am under.

    The only thing I have found to take it away is to have several calm peaceful days in a row, where I can do the daily routine on my own terms. Get plenty of sleep, eat several small nutritious meals slowly, not rush through aspects of my day.1

    Not often that I get that, unfortunately.

    Please let us know if the Neurologist has good info, and I hope you are able to find relief!!

      Thanks Sara for your replay. Friday I have fixed my first medical visit with the neurologist. I'd like just to be sure not having any kind of neuro severe patology such as MS. I am afraid about that even if I am very confident that these all symptoms could be the menoupause. My blood test confirmed that I am in the transaction from menopause and menopause.

      Then I will try to find the right treatment.

      A big hug
