Kellysavedbygrace Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 One of my top symptoms is a chemical burn in my blood and bones (sometimes skin.). Not so much my muscles unless I have been working out. This feeling/sensation has steadily increased in frequency and occurrence as my condition has progressed. It feels like a chemical burning and is Followed by periods of crashing/ very symptomatic w fatigue, brain fog, hypersensitivity, baldy aches and attenuated tinnitus.I'm quite confident what is happening in my case is a symptom of mast cell degranulation. This has been confirmed by my mast cell doc. That may be an avenue for you to rule out. Here are a few questions I'd ask:- do you have symptoms in most or all organ systems?- are you highly sensitive to medicines, chemicals and fragrances?- have you ever had flushing? Upper body turns bright red w a chemical burn feeling? Quote
