Email me at edmuxlow@yahoo.ca. Here is the issue. My main issue at this time is the sensation of burning skin. It starts about 5 min after waking. I can feel my forearms heat up, then it spreads to my face back thighs. Eventually its everywhere. I feel it most in my face neck, upper back chest forearms and thighs. My skin become reddish but not outright flushed and I notice white dots in the areas of burning, mostly the forearms triceps and thighs sometime on the upper chest. It all started a year and a half ago. The weird thing is I developed a sort of intolerance to alcohol just prior to these issues, which only I feel is related. The Docs do not believe this. I would drink alcohol then the next day get muscle jerks tight throat and pounding HR with an increased rate. Since I almost eliminated alcohol The muscle jerks are gone. But in the times I have tested myself with alcohol I only feel the palpitations and I get maybe 3 hours of sleep. Anyway back to the burning skin; it seems if I don't drink lots of water my muscles feel achey and my throat gets tight.espscially if I drink coffee. But is I do drink enough water I only have the burning skin. The severity of burning skin varies. It usually gets worse after eating and if I don't get enough sleep. I have seen a multitude of Doc's and I work with some Doc's as well but no one has a clue. I am very frustrated and wonder if this is burning my skin on the outside is it affecting internal organs as well [myoclonus, palpitaions, achey muscles, tight throat feeling]. If ANYBODY has a clue, please e mail me at the above address.
