I'm dealing with a burning sensation all over my body and it feels like nerve pain, with pins and needles, and sometimes it feels like a heat wave inside. I've also got nerve pain in my jaw. I've been told I might have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome by one doctor in NZ, and a neurologist mentioned Central Pain Syndrome. I'm really concerned and a bit confused about these diagnoses. Could you explain what they mean and how they differ? Also, what can I do to manage or reduce these symptoms?

Approximately 80% of patients with CRPS type I achieve complete, spontaneous relief of signs and symptoms within 18 months; however, no diagnostic criteria have been shown to predict which patients will fall into this category. Some of the patients whose symptoms do not resolve spontaneously may still be cured by treatment. Of the patients who develop refractory CRPS type I, 50-80% have disability secondary to pain andor a limited range of motion. The main disabilities are limitations in their activities of daily living (ADL).

I've been dealing with ocular myasthenia gravis since November 2016. I had a blood report and a CT scan in 2017, which were normal, but then another CT scan in 2018 showed some infection. A chest specialist suggested doing a FOB, and when I asked about how my ocular myasthenia could affect the FOB check-up, the doctor mentioned there's no connection. When I asked about possible infection in the thymus gland according to the CT scan, the doctor said there wasn't one. They mentioned these infections could be pneumonia and might be linked to the prednisolone tablets I'm taking, but these infections weren't there before. Can you guide me on if this is the right approach? An ophthalmologist gave me a Botox injection in my right upper eyelid in January 2017 without doing the ice pack test, Musk test, or diagnosing myasthenia gravis. What role does an FOB play in handling ocular myasthenia gravis?
