I have the pens and needles sensation but not burning. At that time I am usually more sensitive to anything touching my skin.

Notice your activity before & during the incident. When did you take the Gabapentin last? Were you taking the med on a specific schedule?

That would be a flareup for sure. It sucks. If your fibro worsens, you can experience new things you didn't know were related.

Try talking to your doctor about physical therapy specifically curated for your fibromayalgia. You may benefit. It can be painful but the end result could be worth it. I have heard a lot of people who had aqua therapy at their reach start to improve and be able to go back to their regular life. I also hope gabapentin treats you well. The side effects to most nerve pain medications make you question everything. :/

Have you heard of the Invisible Kingdom book? It’s a journalist’s journey with chronic illness. It helped me feel less alone and taught me about so many other chronic illnesses. I know it may not help physically, but your experience reminds me of the author’s. Hope your flare calms down soon. 💕 💕 💕
