Not sure this is the same, but my hands tend to go to sleep, or tingle during the night as I sleep. Very annoying when I wake in the night because of it. I change positions and sometimes it goes away. This never used to happen.

My feet tingle all the time. I get a lot of fibro related pain in my feet and tingling (feels like pins and needles) happens when the pain is really bad or when I've been standing too long. I also sometimes get the same feeling in my shoulder, where I experience a lot of nerve pain.

I get a tingling feeling in my hands and feet. It also feels like they are cold and hot at the same time like I put bengay on them or something. My feet get worse if I am standing for just a few minutes. I can walk short distances more easily than stand still.

Hi Mizkriz,
So sorry you feel icky and alone honey. I don't know which is worse. But you are not alone, not here =) And I am happy you are here. As the other ladies said, YEP, we do feel what you feel. For me, it has gotten to the point that if I sit, stand, lay, anything for more than 10-15 minutes I get a red inflamed spot, and yes, tingling, pins and needles, and numbness for me for sometimes 2 hours or more...just for a few minutes time. This does not happen all the time, just when "IT" feels like it.
Hugs to you and i hope you vent more about how you feel,
Eva

Numbness and tingling in the extremities is pretty common with fibro....its called paresthesias. I think I remember you haven't been diagnosed yet, so I would definitely check with my doctor about the symptoms to be sure nothing else is going on.

HUGS from down south :)

I agree with checking on why your hands and feet tingle. Fibro is bad enough but sometimes masks other things like a neurological issue that can be addressed. Fibro (for me) goes for my weakest point. And sometimes it is shoulder, sometimes my hands and feet, most times my sleep (lol) and always my energy. Be sure to remind yourself that you are not alone and you have enough strength to do the toughest thing -- reach out for others and gain friendship and their experience and strength. Take care,

I too get the tingeling and numbness in hands and feet. Also get stabbing pains in hands so bad I can't use them or one or the other. Pick one. I too agree with evasthoughts"IT" does what "IT" wants! I know you haven't been diagnosed yet, but start informing yourself. The internet has good info for fibromites. And so far everyone I've read about on this fibro group are very well informed also. We are all here for one another. Best wishes on your diagnoses and like the others said no matter what, you are not alone here. We all feel for you and care about you.

I sleep at night with my carpal tunnel braces on. If I don't I have a lot of tingling, pain and my hands will fall asleep. Doctor said I do not have carpal tunnel like he at first thought. It is the fibro.

My hands and feet tingle like that alot as well. I asked my rhummy and she said it was consistent with fibro. I hate the feeling and its annoying but compared to my stiffness and pain, im ok with a little tinglimg. oh and my fingers kinda move on there own a bit when they tingle. Guess its a nerve thing. Hope all of our posts help. :)

My hands, feet, arms and legs all go numb if I hold them in the same position too long. Like 2 or 3 minutes. :-)

I also live with a pair of inexpensive gloves with the fingertips cut out on my hands all the time... and keep a pair of warm fuzzy slippers and a space heater under my desk. I make look silly, but it's better than being miserable!

I get similar problems too. I just wondered whether any of you have a tendency to low blood pressure and whether there may be a link? Since if blood is flowing around the body at less than desirable pressure, maybe it is not optimally oxygenated and also toxins may not get filtered out fast enough? Then to compound this by perhaps applying pressure to the part, by unconsciously having kept it in the one position for a period of time, may explain it. Just me wondering. Although in general we find it very difficult to exercise, it is very important to move around, change positions and help our blood to circulate better. Inactivity will worsen our condition.

I have a numbness in my hands...mainly my pinky and ring finger on both hands, constantly. Also, if I sit too long, my feet will go to sleep. I have noticed, too, that if I lay a certain way in bed that my low back and into the top part of my buttocks will go numb.

In regards to your question of low blood pressure and a possible link to the tingling...I have always had a very low BP, but I am in no way sure that there is a link.

Hope this helps!

I agree scarletpoppy!

I have low blood pressure or at least I did until I started taking baking soda to balance the ph in my blood. The salt raised my bp to 110 over 70. It was 90 over 60 before. And I feel a lot better. I tried the oxygen thing but it didn't work for me. I agree too about keeping moving. I also agree about inactivity. But with cats I can't be inactive so they are my fitness coaches.

Thanks for the post.

Hi mizkriz, I also have numbness and tingling in my hands and feet. Usually at nite, but my hands will will go numb tingle during the day sometimes it just picks and chooses when.
