Burning lymph glands

Hi

Just wondering if anyone has experienced the same.  Over about a week, I would wake in the night to a intense dry burning that seemed to travel and last about a minute.  I felt it start in my armpit and move across my chest.  Another night it seemed to run down the centre of my chest.  I felt in travel through my groin. And other places where there are lymph glands.  It was really weird and alarming.  I can't seem to find any reference to anything like it.  It wasn't sweaty at all.  Any clues?

    Hello Kingfisher66, 

    I can imagine this was rather alarming and that it caused a lot of distress waking up in the night like this. I hope that you will hear from others on the forum to whom this has happened but I think the best thing to do really if you haven't done so already is to give your GP a call and mention these odd symptoms you've described and the fact that you were not sweaty at all.

    I hope that you get to speak to your doctor soon about this and that you get the reassurance you need.

    Best wishes,
