Can Fibromyalgia cause a sunburn-like effect on your skin? For me it comes and goes but is mostly present, especially on my thighs.

If you mean burning sensation then yes I get that a lot.

Hi Kim and others, I asked the question about sunburn. What is wierd for me is that, yes, it burns a little, feels hot and is red just like a sunburn. I think for me it is a sign of a big flare-up. I have only recently experienced a flare up of Fibro. I never thought it would be so bad. I have had FM for a while, but a severe allergic reaction to anti- inflammatories where my whole body was covered in hives seems to have triggered a huge flare including this sunburn thing. It is so hard for others who don't have this to understand, isn't it?

I, too, have a sudden burning sensation on my back, like a sunburn. Noticed it this week when my son patted my back. Have not been diagnosed with Fibro yet, but have been in extreme muscle pain and weakness for about a year, sometimes better-sometimes bad. Scary to have a new symptom.
