Torture at night: Burning when something presses the skin
I have had this burning for the last 2 months. Started slow but have progressed. It is worse at night. It feels like where something presses on the skin it burns. I think that is why I can’t sleep. I have had the nerve tests but shows nothing. Anyone had something similar?

Thanks. Not sure why but I felt better last night. Hopefully it lasts.
Thank you. I'll ask my doctor to test me for Lymes. Just what I need - one more condition. I have to admit that I'm weary of doctors, waiting rooms, labs, medicines, pharmacies ... all of it. I wish I could be healthy again, for just one month (I wrote day, crossed it out, wrote week, crossed that out). In one month I could finish my bucket list. No, two months. Yeah, two months. Peggy
No, three months - for sure in three months I could do everything left on my bucket list. Peggy
I hear you. I now take a variety of supplements and vitamins daily. Not sure what would work for your benefit but, Omega 3, 9, Magnesium, Iron, Potassium, Turmeric and a Multivitamin are all something to look at possibly aiding and/or soothing some pains. It works for me and my Chronic Lymes and lifelong Depression. Hope this helps
Whew, that's one thing I don't have (I'm a comedian professionally and the class clown among my friends). I wish you all the best with your depression. Does Mayo have a department for that? Peggy
Another possibility (even a likelihood) is Clarkson's Disease (CALR). It is a vascular disease. The vessels (mostly capillaries) just under the skin of any part of the body, including organs (spleen, lung, etc.--Same as Gelsolin (GSN) rupture and bleed into surrounding tissue. Rare, but not as rare as many would-be doctors guess. oldkarl
It's hard to get the treatment needed in some cases. Especially if a Doctor doesn't know what they don't know. We put so much trust in our diagnosis and course of treatment. I believe that every ailment has a remedy. We just need the right treatment.
This all went away after 1.5 years. I have no idea why.
I have all the pill bottles to remind me of those terrible days. It could have been related to Covid.
I am so lucky. Hopefully others will be as lucky. I also hope it will not come back one day.
I’ve been feeling the same thing for about 6 months. Did it resolve for you suddenly or gradually? Any tips? Thanks.
Gradually over a few months. All I can think it was related to long Covid, the Covid shot or the one shingles shot I took around that time. Hope you have the same luck.
