I am new to this site. I have fibromyalgia and I get burning/freezing feelings in my feet.When I use a heating pad on my lower back it sometimes helps. Sometimes it's like my body doesn't know if it's cold or hot-I went shopping last month and forgot to put a coat on and it didn't seem to matter. I started Lyrica and it helps some of the pain I've been having but I am gaining weight from it .It also made me feel lightheaded-so I am slowly decreasing it-but I am getting some of my pain again . I also was getting freezing/numb feeling in my face.
Thanks for responding. I've been reading up on the fibromyalgia but don't think I really meet the clinical criteria for that. Symptoms dont really match. My guess is that this is somehow related to the hypothyroidism that I have. Mayo Clinic symptoms under description of Hypothyroidism sort of point to that direction. The sensation of Burning skin in my areas can be one of the symptoms it seems. So now if I can get my thyroid back to normal perhaps this will disappear with time I hope. They say it take a while to get the proper dosage.......It appears that I have had hypothyroidism for quite some time before I realized the symptoms......will just have to wait and see..
