    Hi Erica so so sorry you are having these scary symptoms. Believe me I know how frightening this can be.

    I have been having burning across my shoulders down my spine,down my arms and in random places around my body.

    I have had an MRI of my brain neck and spine extensive repeated blood work, all clear.

    I have seen three neurologists a neuro psychologist and many many doctors.

    I have been diagnosed with a sensitized nervous system brought on by many years of intense anxiety and stress.

    As you can imagine it took me a long long time to accept this.

    I still have these symptoms some days worse than others.

    Please try and stay calm as this will make your symptoms worse.

    Please keep me updated as to how you are doing. Thinking of you.

    Take care.

      Hi Erica Thanks for getting back to me and letting me know how you are getting on.

      The other symptoms I get are muscle twitching all around the body. This is not constant but it does happen everyday. The burning and prickling are worst on my my back and down my arms. Having said that I also feel burning frequently down my legs across the bridge of my feet and also my hands and fingers.

      The really scary thing is the loneliness that comes with this. You go and see different GPs and they all stick together.

      I even changed my GP and saw anothor doctor but she was the same. I still worry that something has being missed and I'm just being fobbed off with this diagnoses of a sensitized nervous system.

      But in fairness to the neurologists GPS countless other doctors,i have seen I do fit with what they say has caused this I. E extreme anxiety and stress and I suppose until I accept it 100 per cent the doubts will add to the anxiety which adds to the symptoms. Catch 22 really.

      How I get through each day I dont know but what choice do I have?

      I often hide my feelings from family as this would cast a depressing cloud over the house. Strangely what I do find is when my mind is distracted the symptoms reduce. The mind is very very strong and can cause lots of different things.

      Sorry about the rant it's a bad day today

      Take care and keep me informed how you are doing.
