Then the caller had nerve issues- tingling in her arms, she was diagnosed with Erythromelalgia. The caller has also had bulging veins in her hands and feet and it burns and hurts really bad. The bottoms of the caller's feet hurt really bad. The caller has joined some support groups and everyone is experiencing similar things that she is. It seems that everyone else's symptoms line up with the same timeline as the caller's. The joint pain that the caller has not is in her feet and it's intermittent, it comes in waves. The caller would have mild pain for a couple of days maybe a 2/10 and then it may flare for a couple of weeks. One joint feels better, then the next day it's a different joint. The caller's Erythromelalgia and neuropathy started at the end of Apr2021, same as the bulging veins. The Erythromelalgia and neuropathy came on quickly but has remained about the same. The caller's joint pain seriousness is in-between medically significant and disabling. The bulging veins result in the caller's hands burning and tingling and it's all related in the nervous system.
