@jesfactsmon, Hi Hank, No....not the type of burning...the fact that it was in my abdomen. It felt like one of those glass-filled fireplaces when you see the flames just above the glass. It actually replaced the sharp pain attacks in my legs that had been awakening me about 5 a.m. for a long time. Now the fire in the belly took over that job. My neurologist insisted on every test in the book and then another MRI of my brain. He didn't see anything abnormal....just changes due to aging. And so it continued until one day after several months, it just didn't happen. And I have never had it again. That's the kind of "incidents" or "episodes" I am trying to understand. The recent heel was just a "flare" and the burning in the belly was definitely an episode.

So much for trying to categorize this medical condition in terms that can be understood and mean the same thing to everyone. Thanks for responding.

May you have peace and contentment.
Chris
