Numb burning thigh, constant night sweats and very angry most of the time. Am i going nuts?

Ive was diognosed celiac disease 9 months ago. Ive had 5 or 6 bouts of CC exposure in that time. Each time it happens i get violent vomiting, sweat buckets, no real stomach pain just nausea and vomiting for 24 hours, im also feezing cold and cant get warm. Im then left confused, fatigued and ussually lose half a stone each time. 

My question is, in between bouts im still sweating nightly and struggling with anger issues and my right thigh is constantly numb and burns and tingles and is much worse in the morning.

Welcome to the forum, Mathew!

I suspect you have something else going on in addition to your celiac disease but it will be hard to tell unless you can eliminate the regular CC. If I do the math you are getting CC'd about every 6 weeks and your body may not be recovering fully in between episodes of CC. At any rate, I would involve a physician in this matter. The numbness only in one thigh sounds like it could be a spinal issue, maybe a pinched nerve or something. We have had other forum members reporting night sweats but I'm not sure if this is tied to celiac disease or something else.

Thanks pal appreciate that. Docs dont know why im sweating at night all bloods were fine although my thyroid was slightly over active. I have more blood tests next week but i assume they will come back as fine as the ussually do.

I think the only way for you to eliminate gluten as the culprit for all of the issues you're having would be to be 100% gluten-free for several months or longer. Only then will you know for sure how it might be affecting you.

You might look up meralgia paresthetica to see if it describes your thigh symptoms. I used to have it, due to a nerve being compressed, and it was worse at night when I was lying flat on my back.

I found that sleeping with a pillow under my knee helped a lot.

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      What is the best gluten free scanner app? I have the "gluten-free Scanner" app. I scanned an almond joy and it says it contains gluten when the package is labeled gluten free

      Certainly, it would b wise to have a gene test done if your physician is open to it as it would provide some more data to understand what's going on. But keep in mind that the genetic test for celiac disease cannot be used as to diagnose celiac disease, only to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population possess one or both of the primary genes known to be associated with the development of active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develop active celiac disease. So, the gene test is an effective "rule out" tool but not an effective diagnostic tool.
