I too have the tingling in my hands and feet AND on my face- usually on my cheek but even my nose will tingle and get numb. I don't know if anyone else gets this but when I stand for any length of time my legs get red. So do my feet. It might be circulation but I'm not over weight and this happened after I had a bad flareup a few years ago and it never went away.

I saw a neurologist and basically it was connected with anxiety. I don't get it- I'm not anxious anymore but this still happens. Go figure....

I get that a lot too, in my face as well and the hands and feet. I also get burning in my legs, mostly my thighs. It's awful and nothing I do helps.

I have too, it is hard to open up a jar. It was so easy before and I am so shaky. I am not sure where that has come from.

I get the tingling in my feet mostly, like little shocks of electricity. I went to the rheumatologist yesterday and she finally confirmed my fibro and put me on Lyrica. Also going to do a sleep study and something about a nerve test where they electricute your fingers or something! LOL I'm not sure I wanna do that, a girl I knew had it done b/c of her back and said it hurt like hell!!! Anyway, just wanted to say hi and have a happy day. I'm off to see my best friend who had her baby last month, finally!!! Feels good to be getting out of the house.

Yes, I have the same thing, especially at night. It is a common symptom of FM.
