Skin feels like it’s burning = nerve pain?????
New symptom that just came up 1 week ago and has me worried. I’ve been diagnosed with RRMS for 14 years. Mostly mild with optic neuritis. I have the typical fatigue, cog fog, heat sensitivity.
Almost a month ago I had shingles. Again, mild - I think because I’ve had the vaccines. Mostly just really itchy. I took the 1 week of Valtrex as prescribed.
Fast forward to what started a week ago. I have places on my skin where I feel like I’m chafed or sunburned, but I’m definitely not. My back and forearms feel this way. These aren’t the places where I had shingles. Well, the back is close proximity. I just don’t know if it’s still shingles or if shingles has sent me into an MS relapse. Don’t know what to do and really don’t want to take another medication!!! Has anyone else experienced anything similar???
