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).

Can I take Clopitab along with antidepressants like Amixide H or Zaptra 12.5? My neurologist just stopped Clopitab, and now I'm only on Betacap and Zaptra. Is that okay, or should I be worried about any interactions?

I'm having headaches almost every day, and they only seem to go away after I take a dart tablet. Sometimes I also get this burning feeling in my eyes. Should I be worried about these symptoms, and is there anything else I can do to help with the headaches and eye discomfort?

If you are experiencing blurring of vision along with this burning sensation in your eyes, it may be suggestive of a refractive error in your eyes. If you are a spectacle user, it may be time to change your spectacles. Otherwise you may be having migraine attacks. A proper evaluation is necessary to warrant the cause and appropriate a line of treatment.

I'm feeling a bit concerned because every day around 6pm for the last month and a half, I've been getting dizzy. I don't have any other symptoms like body pains, but I feel weak and like I might have a fever, even though my temperature is normal. Plus, there's this burning sensation in my eyes. What could be causing this?

Feeling dizzy and weak post 6 pm for 4-5 days, accompanied by a burning sensation in the eyes, despite normal body temperature, could be related to various factors such as inner ear issues, low blood pressure, dehydration, or eye strai
