    Hi Dee,

    yes, my hand feet and legs feel quite numb, which is why I stumble and fall frequently.  I have a constant pins and needles feel in my arms, legs and face.  (It seems to go from the jaw up to the ear)  Have you been diagnosed with Fibro?

    Hi Dee,

    I don't get swollen but I get numbness in my lips and extremities also tingling every so often... I hope you feel some type of comfort reaching out to this forum it is nice to at least chat with people that have been through tough times and together we can at least get some support chatting about and maybe finding some useful resources ...

    Hi Dee, I get both but as I have been told by doctor and physiotherapist swelling is not a symtom of fibro so I'm seeking a second opinion.
