Hello Fibro-Friends,
I haven't been on the support group site for awhile. I went back to work part-time and although it has helped with my depression it has really been difficult to do anything else due to the fatigue.
A few months ago I asked if anyone dealt with numbness and tingling in there legs and someone suggested I seek further medical attention. I had an MRI done and I have a bulging disc in L5 and S1, the Dr. is sure that's what's causing the numbness and tinging. I had 8 steroid injections two weeks ago and so far I have not had the tingling.
I recently started having a numbing and tingling sensation on the right side of my chin. I fear I am going to have a stroke. It doesn't happen all the time, I feel it 2-3 times a day for maybe 20 minutes at a time. Have any of you had this happen? Fibro is such a difficult diagnosis with so many different symptoms I thought I would ask. Please let me know if this has happened or is happening to you.
Thanks!

The pharmacist said no way ... but then went on a site where regular people wrote in their symptoms or side affects and bingo. I don't remember the exact site, but you can google the name of each drug and the adverse affects and look for some kind of message board or personal reviews ... you will be amazed I think.
Yes, fibro is aggravating ... there are so many weird symptoms. I have been in the hospital for heart stuff ... that turned out to be fibro and there was no way to tell the difference except expensive tests. It's exhausting ... hang in there.
Better safe than sorry. Take care.
