Burning all over...

BEen told it's anxiety/depression - which I have.
But I'm worried about MS!
Symptoms started in 2002 after a very stressful time in my life. Burning sensations on arms (both) and entire face - like I've been steamed by hot steamy water, or a sunburn.
Had 1 c-spine and 2 brain MRIs between 2002 and 2005. Saw an MS specialist twice. Last MRI was ordered by him. Completely clear - no concerns he said. Symptoms waxed and waned w/ Zoloft. Originally Zoloft wiped them out for a few months - so I believed it when they said it was anxiety.
I've felt GREAT for 4 yrs, and now the SAME symptoms are back. Burning and just sore to touch, all over my body.
I've read that purely sensory symptoms that come and go and cover most of my ENTIRE body, are probably not MS - as MS does not usually present this way.
Just need some peace of mind - any suggestions?
