Message:   Hearing your symptoms makes me relive my symptoms of 5 years ago. I went to a neurosurgeon after many failed attempts to diagnose my condition. I didn't have burning in my arms, but all of your other symptoms-except, I had no spinal fluid (after 3 different occasions to attempt to extract spinal fluid). PLEASE have your doctor prescribe prednisone-yes it's a steroid, but it completely cured my symptoms. I did have to take a huge dose at first, but after 2 months I was able to wean off. I have not had any reocurrences since. You will make it through this. The prednisone is a Godsend-I promise!
