May have undiagnosed autoimmune disease

So interesting you would post that because that’s what I’m thinking about me. Since Jan. 2021 my symptoms started. I’ve had flare ups body wide with intense pain, muscles have atrophied, numbness body wide, tingling feet/toes. Hands/wrists so painful every day. I was diagnosed Central Pain Amplification by a pain specialist 2 years ago. My neck and spinal cord have been affected. I’m going to ask my GP to refer me to a neurologist at the Neuroscience Center at the big University near me. I need more testing. Maybe you do too. I use Lidocaine patches and cream. CBD cream for my hands and Volatran.

Nice to meet you. If you see a neurologist ask him about peripheral neuropathy,it causes tingling in feet lower legs,hands and fingers. It is treated with gabapentin and usually lasts up to five years.i had it.Inyour case like mine,there are two auto immune diseases that can both cause all our symptoms. They are Long Term COVID and Lyme disease.Both can trigger inflammation of all kinds everywhere in the body. Even if you test negative for Lyme, tests are only 50% accurate. I had treatment for three months and it didn’t stop it. But I have had it with and without positive testing because I am surrounded by forest. And treatment worked.Recently I realized I might have hypmyalgia Rheumatica which explained some symptoms not all.Predisone helped many of our mutual symptoms ,not all and didn’t completely eliminate them totally but helmed a great deal. Consider it. Both diseases above can trigger it. Where are you located.Midwest , northeast?
