Deep heat flushes in my elbows and wrists all started about six or seven years ago. I've spent the last five years assuming this is part of my RA/ connective tissue disease but my rheumatologist says I don't have one now. So it's been raging all day in my left arm and my mouth up to my left eye is numb and my feet feel like they've been in the freezer for many hours.

I was up last night with the worst peripheral nerve pain I've had in ages in legs and arms - hands most severely. So if this isn't my RA and the GP dismissed my worry that it might be a stroke - then what on earth is going on? Feet aside I feel as if I've been dunked in a scorching hot bath and am now glowing from within? Any ideas. My friend asked me if I might have Fibromyalgia just now but this has never been mentioned. I wouldn't call it pain but I'm also terribly dizzy and spaced out as if a bit drunk?

And about Immunoglobulin A. I was tested for this a few years ago in relation to Ceoliacs and found the private lab result yesterday saying it was slightly raised above normal range (0.70-4.00) at 4.01. It was one g/l under the normal range in September so just negative. Does anyone know what this might mean at all? I looked online but could only find Ceoliacs and allergies. Not sure if it's relevant in isolation and only slightly raised or not. Looking for things that the specialists might have overlooked - probably clutching at straws but thought I'd ask.
