I need your help!

I have been diagnosed with fibro for 5 years although I know I have had it longer. Well, now my left leg and arm are feeling weird. I have not had this symptom before and it is scaring me. Sometimes tingling, sometimes numbness, sometime pain. Foot is involved too. I have also noticed that recently I have not had good perception. My left arm is all bruised from walking into doors, walls, etc.
I need to know if you think this is fibro or could this be MS?
This is scaring me!

I don't know cause I'm not a doctor, but I suggest you go see your doc. I'm sorry you are going through this. It is scary I imagine. If you have a rheumatologist too I suggest you make an app. With them also. Good luck with a of this. Sending lots of support your way.

See a doc. It could be anything from fibro to a pinched nerve in the neck to who-knows-what, and it's best to ask a qualified professional. (Or three, to be sure, which is usually what I do.)

Healing hugs to you.

I have what you describe; irritating and annoying. Have many meetings with door frames etc. due to days of less than optimum perception as you call it. As we all know that one person is not the same as the next, go see your doctor to find for sure.

I get arm pain/ spasming as well as pain and pins and needles, it began in my legs and has now several years later come to my arms and hands. I but into things all the time also, its like my balance or space perception is off. I know my doctor wrote my arm/leg issue off as fibro and sent me home. The bumping/perception thing, could be vision or a sign of diabetes. Please note I am in no way a professional just someone trying to help. I know it can be really worrying when you get new symptoms. Please consult your doctor. Big hugs XoXo
