I have burning mouth syndrome and red ear syndrome. I asked a doctor why I get weird things like this. You tell someone and they look at you like you're crazy. So I don't mention them any more. But a bit doctor said that the nervous system can cause all sorts of things to happen or go on
Some of us just have to live with it and try our best to cope
That's why I see a psychiatrist beside my panic attacks nl. I feel that I'm strange with all this

Hi @lilly71, I don't think you're strange, but understand how you feel that way. It helped me to learn about central sensitization syndrome and the nervous system and how it's an umbrella to many different chronic conditions. More than feeling strange, I used to feel like I was going crazy and it was all in my head. It was not!

Mayo's Pain Rehab Center (PRC) teaches many coping skills. Besides seeing a psychiatrist, what other coping mechanisms help you live with your conditions?
