Burning Skin, Hot Flushes, Feel Like I Need To Sweat...Please Help

[[...]]

I have this weird feeling in my body that I really don't know how to describe. Sort of like the insides of my body start to heat up. It comes and goes, some days are worse, but I generally say it's gets worse as the night goes on. Maybe it's worse in my arms and legs or that's just where I can feel it worse. This seems to be the only physical symptom I notice other than some muscle weakness on my arms in the morning and being weak and tired and whatever weird head stuff I feel. What is this? Did you have it and when did yours go away? This is my worst thing other than the brain fog (weak brain, slow difficult thinking, memory) and derealization. I'm having a hard time coping and not constantly being upset and afraid that I'll have to live with these things forever. They make life unliveable.

Coop this is normal wd stuff. Hang in there. I know it sucks but it IS going to go away. TIME. you know the drill. just time. Hang in there. I know it is scary. I am right there with you on that one. But you are going to be ok. You are making big inroads in your healing.

You are much better than even a few weeks ago!! Keep putting the days together.

Hey coop

 

you wouldnt believe it i just wrote the worlds biggest reply to you and i lost it.  So again yesterday i was screwed up in the fetal position like a roaring caged animal ok and today im out of the cage.  See the point im making its the nature of the beast.  Our minds are screwed at the moment but they are unscrewing if that makes sense.  Im going to try and welcome mine and take this as a sign that at least something is happening.  it is scary so so scary my mum was gunna call the ambulance yesterday but in time it passed.  I was like dont call them they are sure to inject me with some more of the same stuff im trying to get off.  I also get incredible anger at the people who did this to me its all common signs of withdrawal.  the burning skin etc.  I think the body sensation you are getting would be call agitation.  would you name it as this???

 

anyway mate know if you every want to chat we are here for you.  Im glued to this thing all i can focus on

Hi Coop, Your hypothalamus is the temperature regulator, the thermostat for the body.  Due to the benzos, things are out of whack for awhile.  I had this big time, it leaves.  Try to settle some and remind yourself these are wds and will leave.  I know it's hard experiencing these, but it will go.  Hugs to you, Patty

Yes, hot, cold, hot, cold. I keep the ceiling fan and heater on.

I tell myself over and over and over it will be okay and one day sooner than I think it will all be over, but when I get bad like this I get so scared. I'm fighting so hard through this but it feels like it won't ever go away. It kills me living like this. It's so much torture on my mind and body an it tells me it's never going to stop. Distractions aren't helping much tonight. Can't watch tv really and the simple games aren't pulling me out of the fear enough. I'm just so frightened I won't have a life anymore except that of pain and a weak fogged brain.

 

The heat in my body seems to go away a little when I get up and walk. I wonder why? Too bad all the brain fog and other stiff doesn't leave too.

my doc said yesterday that the adrenaline and that need a release you often find when you get up things start to get moving in the body.  Have you thought about any exercise at all can you get out.  I cant by the way but i need to.  You are just wrapped in fear its the benzo not you ok.

I walk every day as much as I can. Maybe a mile or so. That's all I can do. It makes my brain get very weak otherwise I'd do more. Weak brain turns in to weak body and it always seems to rev everything up a bit, but I make myself at least do that much so I don't get too weak.

Coop im hearing you ok.  I think the thing is we start to panic so much and it amps everything up.  I know this for a fact.  It is scary and crazy and if your like me thinking well you cant be as bad as me trust me I am.  Im here with you every step of the way.  Im having my son's 21st party today so imagine my head.  So best be off because i will be damned this is going to spoil my boys day I wont let the benzos do that so im going to fake it till i make it so to speak.

 

thinking of you

The heat in my body goes away when I walk too.  It's a huge relief.  It also subsides after I've been asleep for awhile.  It's gone when I wake up and gets worse as the day goes on.  One day at a time, I guess.
