Burning Skin 24/7 Undiagnosed
for past 20 months, been unable to consume any food or beverage besides water without erupting (within 3-5mins) in burning-swelling-rashing-drying skin. seen 50+ doctors, all still remain perplexed... claim never heard of such a thing before. Countless test, including
food allergy testing... all of which doctors say are clean. Tried over 60 lotions, creams and bathing solutions only to find they worsen my skin. For the longest time I wasn't even able to sit down without feeling on fire. I've been stuck on a diet of fatty red meats, olive and canola oil, flaxseed, and freshwater fish, because these foods are the least triggering, though they still induce burning pain.
I've also been unable to exercise, sweat, shower or endure physical pressure without making myself worse... a lot worse. Tried countless over-the-counter and prescription drugs (antihestimines and painkillers), and not one helps an ounce.
Every doctor I turn to for help ends up saying that it's not their problem and rushing me out the door. Frustrating to say the least. I'm confused on who exactly I'm supposed to turn to next.
