Every day I wonder if my comdition has worsened to now include autonomic function problems. My doctors have termed my pain condition a central sensitization but don't seem to fully understand that I feel sick almost all the time. After a meal my body goes into a 'funk" where my whole body vibrates and I feel gross. How do you explain that to a doctor without sounding nuts? I'm also having hot flashes and flushes all the time.... Not anything like menopause. I feel nauseous and ill when they occur. I've been through menopause and am all too familiar with that type of sudden flush; but this includes my palms and feet and seems to jack up the burning I have in them. I've been from pillar to post with doctors and have given up hope that they will ever be able to do anything for me but write a RX. Maybe that's why I vent here. Thx!
