New fibromyalgia question

[hollyhock]

How about numbness? If you have fibromyalgia, do you experience this? Is it usually extremities or anywhere? Thanks.

I didn't answer in your other thread, because it was well covered.  :)

 

I have fibro, among a multitude of diagnoses.  Actually, my fibro symptoms are much, much improved and only occasionally flare now.  So I don't feel like the best person to answer, but numbness was a huge thing for me at the beginning, so I feel compelled to share.

 

I had numbness and tingling in my extremities. It was one of my first signs that things were wrong. That progressed to burning - peripheral neuropathy - that was excruciating.    That and sore soles of the feet, especially in the morning, oh my.  It made walking down the stairs to get coffee - and then picking up that coffee cup - soooooo hard.  Ouch.  :(

 

Those particular symptoms I *don't* associate with my fibro diagnosis.  But - it's hard to pinpoint which condition causes which issue.  

 

I hope you find answers.

I have numbness but I tend to associate it with spinal problems. Chiropractor helps.

 

Numbness is listed as a fibro symptom though. So what do I know?
