    New symptom with a flare, my voice

    Thank you all for responding. I thought it was only me. Such a strange thing to happen on top of everything else that comes with a Fibro flare.

    New symptom with a flare, my voice

    I’ve been diagnosed with fibromyalgia for a few years now. My flares are usually the same symptoms. Maybe a little different here and there but lately when a flare starts I’ve notice that my voice begins to get hoarse. It’s happened the last few times. Has anyone else experienced this ? Thanks

    Tingling and numbness in arms and hands

    Thank you so much for the suggestion. But it happens all day. Morning, noon and night. I was told to try the wrist braces. So I will do that as well. But i just don’t know why it happens so frequently all times of the day 🙁

    Tingling and numbness in arms and hands

    I was wonder if anyone had chronic numbness and tingling in hands and arms. It’s getting worse. I can’t even blow dry my hair without having to get the blood circulating again. I did get my blood vessels tested. I was told possible Carpal tunnel. I don’t think that’s what it is. It goes all the...

    I do take hot baths with lavender Epsom salt. I find they can be helpful. I dont take magnesium but I will look into that. I am willing to give anything a try !

    Prednisone suddenly not helping with pain

    This does make sense. I do try and distract myself when i cant find relief. It does help when your not focused on the pain but on something else. I guess like you said muscles arent as tense. But i tell you, sometimes it just feels good to finally feel good. I really would love to stop all of my...

    Prednisone suddenly not helping with pain

    Sunkacola Thank you for your reply. I also hate to take these steroids. I try to avoid as much as possible, but there are some instances where it is my only option for relief. I am on a five day dose now. My flare this time is one of the worst i have ever had. Just very upsetting when nothing...

    Prednisone suddenly not helping with pain

    I was wondering if anyone is using the medication Savella for their fibromyalgia ? I am currently on cymbalta. Also, i am currently experiencing a bad flare so my doctor increased my prednisone to 50mg for 5 days. I am on day 2 and still have pain in my muscles. In the past prednisone at a lower...

Tingling in my forearms and hands, weird sensations in my legs like something is crawling. Very frustrating. Im concerned about MS. I read some of these symptoms...

    New symptoms/ random stinging pinches

    I have fibromyalgia and RA. I recently have been having some new symptoms. One of the newest is a sharp stinging type pain. Like your being stung or poked by a needle in random places. It comes and goes. Anyone experienced this ? Thanks

    Where did my life go?

    I can totally relate to you. I have the same exact experience with my FM. I have lots of depression when I think of who I used to be. You must remain positive. I always say to myself things could be so much worse. It keeps me going. I refuse to let my FM take control !!! Best of luck to you and...

    Tingling in my arms and hands

    Hello everyone, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 3 years ago. I also have RA. One of my other symptoms is raynauds. My fingers and toes turn white if I get cold. But lately instead of my hands turning white when I get cold I have tingling in my arms and hands. Once I warm up it goes away...
