Fish oil capsules

I do. Not sure of its FM or just getting older.

Fibro is such a strange disease and nobody has exactly the same symptoms at the same time. I have pain that moves from one part of my body to another from moment to moment. I used to love the heat, but now I sweat and feel like I'm dying if it's over 75. I have more pain, however, if it's under...

Welcome Jade! I currently use supplements of B12, Vitamin D, and Fish Oil. They seem to help alot. I also take Cymbalta and Gabapentin. I hope you find this forum useful. We're are all in this boat together!

I can't offer advise, but I get neuralgia in my arms like you describe. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia recently. My arms tingle and go to sleep. This happens from my fingers to my shoulders. The tingling moves, too. I've started dropping things from the weakness. It sucks, and I'm sorry your...

I have the same thing, usually in my shoulder blades. I get stiff if I sit for more than a few minutes, too. I'm sorry you're going through this. FM is different for everyone, but there are similarities for sure.

Hi @max_attack00. I, too, have dealt with fibro symptoms for many years. I was just diagnosed a few weeks ago. BAM! I'm suddenly tired all the time and have new symptoms popping up almost daily. I am a big girl, but am very healthy when it comes to my heart, lungs, blood sugar, etc. Please...

I've been unable to tolerate leg and lower back massages for many years. I could never understand why people liked pedicures. Now I know it's not just me!

@Jemima Thank you for showing me this. It could be similar. @femfatigued Are you still having numbness?

Today I got a new symptom. My left side feels like it went to sleep. It started in my leg just below the knee, then my arm, now my whole left side from my shoulder to my foot. I've had the pins and needles and electric socks in my fingers, but never an entire side. Anyone else?

Hi all. I was diagnosed with FM last month. I've had symptoms for years, but no doctor would give me a diagnosis. I was sure I had it as I have a lot of the symptoms (fatigue, trouble sleeping, tingling in my fingers and toes, pain in every joint, frequent headaches, stiffness of I remain...
