Tingling and Numbness in Fibro - Anyone Else?

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.

      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.

      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!

      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

      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 🙏
