Have you started any new medications? If not then stress can make my symptoms change quite a lot - especially the fog, I get new pain everywhere and muscle twitches too. This time of year can be stressful, maybe you need to take some time out to pamper yourself?

Thanks. My Dr. suggested stress--but I'm not sure what I'm actually stressed about. I mean, after my symptoms got really bad I took a break from college, I hired a mother's helper to take care of my baby two days a week so I could rest and I stopped all my freelance writing jobs. So I'm not actually doing anything. Can you still be stressed if you have nothing stressing you out?

I have these symptoms for a long time, but they did not come on all at once. Perhaps the disease is just progressing. I hate to say that, but it seems to be wha happens. Gentle hugs, sue

Yes, I agree with Sue, things may be progressing. Certainly my list of "symptoms" has increased and changed over the years. Hugs.

i beleive having nothing to to do can stress u.. u think about the things u did or want to do and people around u .. there is always a cause of stress...**hugs**

Yes things keep changing with fibro. the arm and leg tingling could be some of the nerve damage we seem to get. I have raynaurd also. It often goes with connective tissue problems, I would have your rhemy check it out just to make sure as sometimes other things get missed when we have fibro. Good luck marilyn

I've had fibro for about 23 years and it has constantly changed throughout this time. Just when you think you have it figured out, it changes! My latest thing is perspiring a lot. Talk about socially unacceptable! My hair and clothes are always wet. It's embarrasing.
Good luck,

It does sound like your fibro is progressing.I know mine is its crazy but my symptoms come and go differnt ones differnt times..Its hard to know when to go running to the Drs or not.This is a crazy disease Im so glad we all have each other to try and deal with it better..Big gentle hugs to you

ME TOO HOMEBOD, I wake up many nights and my hair and shirt and just soaked, or I will be out just doing a normal activity and just start dripping! It is terrible. I am guessing it will just pass... dont know

homebod...glad you wrote that. it's like at night my thighs sweat and right at my hair line on my neck! although I do notice I do sweat more during the daytime now. so yes I guess fibro will never keep us board!! it just keeps on giving.

No as already have raynouds and uncontrollable muscle spasms (controlled with flexeril) and my brain fog is always with me. The leg tingling may be due to nerve damage. Ask for a nerve conductivity test.

Dr.s will tell you this DIS-EASE does not Progress...ask anyone who has had it for any real length of time and you will find it does Progress...usually with more stress...
have had mine Progress on me now 3 times...
started out with occaisional flu like symptoms...a few years later add severe muscles achiness and stiffness
a few years after that add in To tender to be touched...IBS...Raynauds...TN...loss of vision all the sudden..which will intermittenly clear Up !!
perhaps not all my symptoms are FM related...perhaps some of my other issues were made worse by the FM...
It is important that you keep a journal on your symptoms...i write everything down everyday...if you have ANY new or worsening symptoms get in and DEMAND to be checked for whatever...had I been diagnosed with FM before 2004...I would not be here today...DO NOT allow Dr.s to now shove everything under FM

I get new symptoms each year and unfortunately keep all the old ones too. I sometimes get muscle twitching, sweating, and arm tingling as side effects of medicines. Have you changed or added anything recently?
It is a comfort(if that's the right word) that there are lots of us out there dealing with the same problems and frustrations. Certainly no one I know around me understands how difficult it is to live with Fibromyalgia.

I didn't realize the muscle twitching was part of the FM. Thanks for writing it and hopefuly you'll feel better soon!
