Common Questions and Answers about Fibromyalgia and tingling

fibromyalgia

Avatar f tn Thanks for your response. I have yet to be diagnosed and I have tingling, numbness and pis/needles. I wasn't sure if that as common for fibromyalgia or not. And, it drives me crazy too! I can barely stand to sit at the computer anymore because of it!
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia last March. Since then and after trying few different prescription(Neurontin, Cymbalta) I decided I didn't like the way they made me feel and started researching what nutritional supplements could help. I resorted to taking supplements and saw my energy level and some symptoms improve. About 4-6 weeks, I have tingling (pin & needles) in my feet going up my legs and hands. My rheumatologists suggested I see a neurologist, to rule out MS.
Avatar f tn I know several people like yourself is on something but they still have pain and the numbing and tingling. Have you been offically diagnosed. It sounds like you are one of the lucky ones that its mild, of coarse nobody should have to deal with this at any degree. All that I listed above is what I have experienced. Of course my other diseases also have very similar symptoms so sometimes I don't know if its a Lupus flare or Fibro flare or RA, or Sjogrens.
Avatar f tn Hi, tingling could be due to low calcium levels, hypothyroidism, vitamin B deficiency or neurological disorder. Blood tests to rule out these conditions are must and also MRI brain for diagnosis in relation with neurological abnormality. How old are you and any history of diabetes or hypertension?
Avatar n tn I have been experiencing tingling in my hands and in my face recently and after getting a physical done in February the only thing that was abnormal was my vitamin D level. Could this be causing my tingling?
Avatar n tn a year ago i devoloped pain all over my body, specially heels, ankles, gluteous area, sharp burning -like pain when flexing knees, shoulders, numbes and tingling at hands, leg and feet cramps, waking down stairs is painful. my doctor told me i had fibromialgia. (TESTED NEGATIVE TO LUPUS, RHEUMATIOD ARTHRITIS, INFLAMATION,) received treatment with cymbalta and lirica but no help. cortisone steroids relived pain, only. is it possible that the problem started with the b12 deficiency?
997519 tn?1251239849 I started having a tingling pain on my arm. It climbed to my hand and back to my arm. Then moved to my legs. I want to know if this is fibro.
1073473 tn?1257840649 As far as medication goes, and I am no doctor of course, but anti-seizure meds like Lyrica and Neurontin can be very effective for nerve tingling and pain for some people. I take a sister medication called Topamax, which works well for my nerve problems, but this one can also cause tingling too (ironic) when you are first getting used to it. I suggest talking to your doctor about your symptoms especially if it's been awhile since you've been in to see him or her.
Avatar f tn When I stand or walk the left leg is weak and the bottom of my foot tingles and is painful. I get random numbness and tingling in my left hand, left side of my scalp and around the eye and lip. I just keep getting told I have this or that but not enough to cause these issues. (osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia) Just this week I have had this weird symptom show up. I keep getting this heat to my face and my cheeks turn red and hot, but it does go away so I dont think it is the Lupus butterfly thing.
Avatar f tn For a long time now, my body had been real sensitive to the touch. someone could gently squeeze my arm and it would be either painful or uncomfortable. i've had several panic attacks over the past few years, but they have always gone away from simply sitting down for a few mins. now, recently i started feeling slightly nauseous and then i started having trouble breathing and the next thing i know, i get a tingling numb feeling in my hands so i think its just a panic attack and i sit down.

Avatar n tn In 2003 I started getting twitching sensations over my body and tingling on my left side of my body and at times I felt somewhat spacy. I had MRIs, cat scans, went to a nuerologist to diagnose whether I had MS and nothing was discovered. I went to a naturopath who then did a number of tests and came up with an intolerance of gluten and wheat. In fact, I went on a gluten and wheat free diet and almost within a week improved.
1184051 tn?1264435308 /or RA and when I told him my symptoms he said they were all due to fibromyalgia. It really made me mad that he wouldn't take them seriously and didn't even want to treat me for fibro. I'm going to press my family doctor to start a treatment regimen.
Avatar f tn I recently posted regarding some tingling and numbness in arms and B12 or diabetes was suggested. I have since started taking B vitamins and have been very careful about what I eat. I have also been exercising everyday. The numbness and tingling has gone completely away - however, I still have severe muscle pain in both forearms. Can this be related? It has only been 3 weeks since I started the vitamins.
Avatar m tn For the last few months I have had near constant tingling in my shoulders, my forearms hurt and some leg weakness When I workout or go to the driving range the day after my arms feel very fatigued and I feel a bit out of it. I am unable to sleep either because I am worrying about this or this is part of the disease process. More to the story, I recently tested positive for hsv1 and hsv2. I was only tested because I was dating someone that was hsv2 positive.
Avatar m tn widespread pain, disturbed sleep, and exhaustion from head to toe shortness of breath, numbness and tingling sensations, muscle weakness I get pain in my neck, like muscle stiffness and that comes and goes leg cramping, fatigue, trembling nausea I also had weakness in the left arm, pain and numbness as well I was suffering from migraines and one had caused an anxiety attack Fatigue, muscle weakness, trembling muscles, some muscle spasms, cramping in my right calf, tingling in hands feet and
Avatar f tn I constantly find others with fibro that have a lot of the burning/tingling/numb stuff and most have some pretty severe memory issues too. You could consider speaking to your doctor about an antiseizure drug such as gabapentin because I find a ton of relief in a lot of my 'nervy' stuff using them (otherwise the burning/tingling and the trigeminal neuralgia are enough to make me pull my hair out). Best of luck.
Avatar f tn One common finding among autoimmune patients with positive ANA and RNP as well as fibromyalgia syndrome is that over 75% have chronic bacterial and viral infections. I suggest that you consider testing for some common infections found in these conditions. A list can be found on our website under Clinical Testing (immed.org). If identified, these infections can be treated (see information under Treatment Considerations on our website).
Avatar m tn The doc who prescibed it was running a clinic in florida and claimed to be able to cure chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia.....he diagnosed me with black mold toxicity and put me on a month of IV therapy....thats why I didn't make the link to my side effects and the lyrica. he claimed I was detoxing from the micotoxins the mold causes. the jury is still out on whether that was really my problem, as all my symptoms are coming back.
Avatar f tn I am 33 and I feel so old b/c of the constant aches and pains! I have Fibromyalgia and Bulging/Herniated Discs in my Neck, and Many other Health Issues as you can see in my profile! First of all if you have Fibromyalgia there is something called the Fibro Fog, where you have a hard time concentrating and verbalizing! I personally think the most Prominent Symptom of Fibro is the Pain.
Monster Multiple muscle groups may eventually become involved, with most patients experiencing pain in the neck, middle and lower back, arms and legs, and chest wall. These areas feel painful with even slight pressure and are called tender points (figure 1). Many patients with fibromyalgia feel that their joints are swollen, although there is no visible inflammation of the joints (arthritis). ### FIBROMYALGIA TESTS — There are no specific laboratory or imaging tests used to diagnose fibromyalgia.
Avatar f tn Chronic muscle pain, muscle spasms or tightness, weakness in the limbs, and leg cramps Moderate or severe fatigue and decreased energy Insomnia or waking up feeling just as tired as when you went to sleep Stiffness upon waking or after staying in one position for too long Difficulty remembering, concentrating, and performing simple mental tasks Abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and constipation alternating with diarrhea (irritable bowel syndrome) Tension or migraine headaches Jaw and fa
Avatar f tn Yes I am experiencing the same, I find it hard to think of words and cannot end sentences most of the time. The pins and needles/ tingling in my feet and hands is driving me nuts. Waiting for bloods and a nerve conduction study. Hope you find the answers!
Avatar f tn dizziness, complete loss of appetite, difficulty with coordination, burning, numbness and tingling sensations in my limbs, slurred speech, confusion, difficulty swallowing, eye pain and blurring, sleep apnea, difficulty walking straight and general clumsiness. To be honest, I look like a drunk person when I walk.
591884 tn?1234201709 My main problem is numbness and tingling and sometimes muscle cramping. This disease make you feel very alone. I had an mri scan with and without contrast in September and will have another on this September. Nothing showed up on the mri scan.
Avatar f tn I started off with pins and needles in hands, then it spread to the legs, then it stopped for 2 months. Now it is back, but only intermittant this time around, burning and tingling feet and pins and needles in my hands. It has also progressed to my top left hand side of my lip. That drives me mad, the hands and feet I can bear (just about) but the tingling in the lip is very weird. I have had a lot of blood tests (just waiting on calcium) they were clear and a NCS - completely fine.
