What could be the cause of …
this burning sensation. Seems to be stress related. My mom’s friend has it. She’s 78 and has been through many losses/stress. It starts at the waist and goes up through the torso to the shoulders and upper arms. She says is feels like 2nd degree burns but gives no heat. Two people have died of cerebral hemorrhages in her family. I think it is caused from nerves…anyone ever hear of such a thing? Her primary care physician has no answer. Help, she is desperate and says it is dibilitaging. Thanks.

It is NOT shingles, there are no blisters or skin rashes…it is not dermatological in nature. It comes from within.
Nope, not diabetes or shingles. I am thinking it may be neurological or endocrinogical…(hypothalamus perhaps).
Extending question for lack of responses so please help if you can. Thanks.

She needs to be checked out by a doctor that specializes in internal medicine.
