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.

I have it too but we always associated it with my epilepsy, so I can't tell you for sure. I'm sorry.

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

Some people have success with gabapentin (medicine), you can ask your doctor or research it.

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

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.

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 🙏

thank you for replying! I’m hoping for answers soon too. The fatigue and foggy brain systems are terrible too.
