Summary....
Burning skin sensations, mainly face and arm, started in 2002. Went through years, off and on, of testing. MRIs, EMGs, blood, neurologica exams, etc.
Last MRI was in 2005. Negative negative. Saw an MS specialist. He said definitely not MS.
I was in a VERY stressful marrige for 13 1/2 yrs and this started about 5 yrs before he left. The day he walked out, I've been GREAT ever since. That was almost 4 yrs ago. He got me REALLY upset on Mother's Day with a stunt he pulled and the next day, the burning and aching and fatigue started back. Of course, MS came to mind again.
I know it HAS to be from stress, but I need some relief from my worrying. I have no problems w/ my arms, legs, vision, etc. This has been going on for almost 10 yrs (off and on). Basically burning sensations which get worse when I really worry about it and panic about it.
Does this sound like something to worry myself about MS over? I'm sorry - I know many of you have much worse problems that I speak of, but this health anxiety is kicking my butt.
Thanks for any input.
