Does anyone else with Fibromyalgia have loss of sensation in the skin of face hands &feet?

Question:

Have lots of 'rotating' symptoms and feel like a burden when I see my GP. He gets that, 'and what do you want me to do about it if the specialist can't help you?' look on his face!!

Answers:
Yes I also have that problem, I find that when I am in a really bad flare I get wierd numb patches and tingles all over my legs and belly. I also know what you mean about the feeling like a burden, but don't you are entitled to healthcare no matter how regular you visit your doctor. It took me a long time to realise this. What really helped me was to find people who know what I am going through I am now a member of an online forum. This is great as we share symptoms, give each other support and also have a laugh, sometimes at our own exspense. Here is the link:

You have to be approved by the moderator before you can register but don't be put off as this is simply due to the amount of spammers registering just to advertise cheap viagra. Also the name says Kent but there are members from all over the UK. I hope you find this useful, and i hope you find relief in some shape or form.

Oh and to the the "Dr" who has posted above i am not trying to get out of anything I have spent the past three years training to be a nurse, despite chronic pain and fatigue. Also fibromyalgia does have neurological symptoms anyone who knows what they are talking about will tell you that. That is why we percieve more pain than other people and why we also experience tingling, feelings of crawling insects amongst other things. If you can be of any support to someone who is clearly looking for genuine advice then don't answer.

My Mom has that. She has a hard time just getting out of bed. The Dr's think that she is crazy, and there's nothing more than can do. She was taking Lyrica for a while, and that really helped.
