Do Your Flare Ups Have Similarities
I've been having the same flare up for a couple months. My hands and feet are the worst. They burn, itch, needles. They also get bright red and the veins look and feel like they could pop. I can't walk when it gets this bad. And it always seems worse at night.
ice packs wrapped in a cloth so they don't touch your skin? then heating pad or bottle for few mins. alternate. I get those red areas and elevate legs and use ice to lower heat. all we can do is try different things until we find an answer. you will
I work with a co worker who had yjis with her hands, they also peeled. It was a gluten intolerance reaction. Yours sounds like RA to me, esoecially with both hsnds and feet. Hope the flare calms and pain eases soon. Gentle hugs.
@A MyFibroTeam Member forgot when my hands do that it all happens in less than three minutes. I took pictures and it was a small flare my 1st three fingers get to where i cant seperate them, I no longer can separate the 2 middle ones. Now it's starting in my toes. Wasnt sure if i was able to post the picture of rhe hands. And because my group on face book is invisible chronic illnesses not just fibro they had no idea when I posted them trying to get suggestions to help starting with something to find answers
@A MyFibroTeam Member Those symptoms of burning, itching with pins and needles in your hands and feet are what I get with Diabetic Neuropathy, have you been tested for Diabetes?
I hope you feel better those are horrible symptoms and when you say burning you MEAN on π₯!

@A MyFibroTeam Member thanks for your concern hon. Wanted to reassure you I've had a full work up on my heart and all is good. I had a blood clot back in 03' so I know what you mean they said it was so large that if it hadn't broken up by the time it hit my brain id have died. I didn't know my name, said I wasn't married. Thank God Sara wasn't born yet. Took months to get back on my feet. Wiped me out. Didn't want you to worry, I you see how concerned you wereβ€
