I was diagnosed with fibro 23 years ago. A year and a half ago I started getting tingling and numbness in my legs and arms and feeling electric zapping mostly in my legs and feet. I had mri’s done as my neurologist thought it could be MS. No lesions found so I’m assuming now it’s fibro? Is this a fibro thing that others deal with? The neurologist was no help at all once I was negative for MS.

@Goodvibez thank you for replying! I’m hoping for answers soon too. The fatigue and foggy brain systems are terrible too.
Yep, I have those symptoms along with widespread muscle and joint pain. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia by a rheumatologist a year ago. Hope you get answers soon 🙏

Hi you may want to consult a rheumatologist. It’s hard to find a good one who will help with fibromyalgia. I take duloxetine which helps with nerve pain and depression.

@Mamasboys thank you for responding! My pcp was sending in a referral to a rheumatologist thankfully. It looks like he has great reviews online so I’m hopeful for some help and answers
@Hockeyfan that’s great I hope you get some answers. Have a list of questions ready. Hopefully you can get someone who has experience with fibromyalgia
Some people have success with gabapentin (medicine), you can ask your doctor or research it.

@Raquel226 thank you! I’m getting a referral to a Rheumatologist again. I haven’t seen one in over 15 years so I’m sure there have been some advancements since then. I appreciate your advice

@Hockeyfan of course any time, I hope you feel better. Another thing that I had to learn to prioritize was sleep, and I know that can be hard. I personally have benefited a lot from it, so you might want to try that too. Good luck!
I have it too but we always associated it with my epilepsy, so I can't tell you for sure. I'm sorry.
@Raquel226 it was a new thing after all these years so I’m not sure if I push to get answers or blame fibro at this point 🤷♀️ always a guessing game it feels like
@Hockeyfan I can relate. My symptoms also didn't start for well over a decade after my fibromyalgia diagnosis. It's all kind of a guessing game and hard to get doctors that listen. Be your own advocate is my advice.
