HI everyone I have a question. I know none of you are doctors so I know that it is only advice I am asking. I was wondering if I am having a symptom of fibro or if I need to bring this up to my new doctor. Sometimes at night when I am lying in bed I have noticed that my legs and feet have been going numb. Not to the point that I can't move them but like they are falling asleep. I have to get out of bed and move around for it to stop. I brought it up to my last doctor and was told it was my anxiety kicking in at night and was incresed on my anxiety medication. I don't think that has anything to do with it. Any advice would be appreciated.
My meds are:
abilify, trazadone, topomax, savella, flexeral, relafin, dilaudid, phentermine, lipitor, cymbalta, nexium, lasix, vitamin D, potassium, metoprolol, and a mulitvitamin.

I've heard others with fibro complain about numbness, I don't have it but it's always good to discuss it with your doc. If the current line of treatment doesn't work be frank with him/her and look for options Smile

Sorry I'm not of any more help, but I'm really foggy today Tongue

I would check with the doctor. I'm sure others will be around to share similar symptoms. I can't personally help you as I have other conditions that cause a multitude of symptoms so it just wouldn't be fair for me to answer that. I would always check with the doctor though if you experience new or worsening syptoms, that's just me Smile

I have that too but also with my hands and arms, its called paresthesia (idk on spelling lol). When i told my doctor, we checked my B12 and it was normal, so she said that there was nothing to worry about and nothing we can. I know that doesnt really help but I thought I would share my experience.
