Hi everyone,
I'm hoping you can help put my mind at rest and give me some hope, as I'm starting to feel very depressed.
At the end of February I had an MRI scan to have a look for thyroid eye disease (which it turned out I didn't have) and a day or two after I noticed my skin looked mildly 'sunburnt' and stung and went deeply red when I scratched.
This progressed into a deep 'sunburnt' feeling all over my body... burning and deep bruising sensation in the worst places like my back, just like sunburn... even clothing hurt!
I became very feverish and unwell with it and felt so sick (I have been sick too) I lost a lot of weight.
It has been over a month and this symptom has not disappeared. I look less red now, but the skin is super sensitive to touch and it has flared up again in that time. It kind of moves, for a few days it was my head and face really burning, then my back belly and chest... when it flared up again recently I felt feverish again (kind of 'wrong temperature'... hot skin and shivery inside' as well as seriously tired.
I have read that this could be anxiety. I am under a lot of stress, coming up to my finals and worried a lot about the scan and during the scan (it was terrifying). Please can anyone with anxiety relate to this? Will it subside when my stressful period is over or enough time has passed after the scan?
*please- no negative or scary responses, I will plunge into depression and fail my finals. I am here looking for reassurance and hope*
Thank you so much,
Bee
