After over 1.5 years of having burning all over my body, it looks like I have found an answer to this question.

I'm currently in a significant hives outbreak. Against my better judgement, I had a hot wrap on my neck during a dentist visit over a week ago. Two days later, hives started to break out on the back of my neck. They have continued to get worse every day. My face is so swollen that it looks like it belongs to someone who weighs 300 lbs and not a thin woman that I am.

I'm still having some sensory symptoms - tingling and roaming patches of warm, but for the most part, my burning has stopped. I have been having bad reactions to the sun and hot temps since the onset of my symptoms. I really should have declined the hot neck wrap, but I wasn't thinking. (My dentist appointment went well, btw. I was really worried because I have symptoms inside my mouth).

It seems that my immune system is too busy creating hives to bother with burning me. What do you think? Has this happened to anyone else?
