Sunburn sensation without a sunburn?

[Meriland30]

Does anyone else get this? Just to clarify, it doesn't feel 'hot'. It literally feels 100% exactly like a sunburn, but there is no sunburn. It is on my shoulders. It feels so much like it that touching it is sensitive like a sunburn. Can this really be anxiety? This just randomly started happening tome yesterday while I was eating dinner. I wasn't nervous it just...happened? It seems worse at night.

Are you on any new medication?

Not on any medication...

Strange, I've had this on my feet and front of my shins for the past week. I have been suffering from health anxiety for the past year so prob down to this as well as all the other weird symptoms I get.

It feels like rugburn, on my shoulders and arms and now above my bum. I am terrified of like some deadly poisoning or radiation or MS! I am on ny honeymoon right now and i am so distressed over this. It feels so real. Everything that touches it feels like sandpaper. I am so scared....what are the chances this is sinister?

? Is it really that unusual?

Iam in the same situation, I have sunburn sensation started in my shoulders and then migrates to my forearms, face and thighs.

I've had it too. Also a feeling of sensitivity when clothes touch.

Mine went. They were a symptom that was occasionally appeared.

I think fibromyalgia has these symptoms but I would be wary of looking too deeply without a doctor's view on this because anxiety certainly can cause all sorts of these types of sensations and I can remember even having this issue many years before I even had anxiety so I suspect it may be "one of those things" that anyone can experience.

Yes! I've got this right now, for about 5 days now. Across the front of my body (lower ribs) and lower upper back as well. Very much like sunburn without the burning/sunburn feeling. I've obviously looked at Dr bloody Google, and it says Fibromyalgia and MS but trying to put my mind off these. Anyone else with these symptoms?

i've dealt with this before, it went on for 3 days and then just disappeared on it's own. the feeling was mainly my shoulders and underarms. my shirt brushing against it made me cringe! no idea how it started or how it stopped. it happens, i guess?
