Also, this may shound weird, but could it be depression?
I had a moment a few years back when I lost 2 members of my immediate family in a 2 month span, the second one was murdered. It fucking destroyed me. I remember my skin felt like it was burning. It felt like a sun burn / pool burn all the time and it stung to be touched. I had no appetite, when I would try to make myself eat I would chew food and it was like my body wouldn't want to swallow.
If you've had any major stressful event, greif, emotional trauma, etc maybe that's the root cause. You should still go to the doctor but just some food for thought.

That's interesting I've never heard of that before. Yes, I have depression and have been stressed out lately. I will go to the walk-in clinic tomorrow and maybe they can figure out what it is. How did you get it to stop? I'm in severe pain and I've had kidney stones before and although it isn't that bad it runs a close second..

Yes, as soon as they found out I had no insurance it was like they didn't care at all and just wanted to get me out of there.
