    Hi Cheryl,

    wow, you have been through the mill a bit.  I get pins and needles in my arms, hand legs and feet and yes I too have fallen, but not banged my head like you did.  

    I have both Osteo and RA, Spondylitis, Fibromyalgia and also unstable angina.  People don't always understand because it's not something you can see.  I hope you feel better soon. x

      Wow, that was a fast response. What's spon.....? U 2 have you hands full with your body. And yes, u r right, people DO NOT UNDERSTAND!!! I just came across this site. Was finally diagnosed in May but was Dr,ing for a year with migraines, mysterious pains, X-Rays, blood work, etc. Sure u understand. Difficulty finding competent Dr.s. Found some either quacks or incompetent Ines. FRUSTRATED TO THE MAX, Wish u well also.

    I get pins and needles all over also. It freaked me out when I got it all down my left arm and it lasted the whole day. I get it occasionally now but I know now it's nothing to worry about. It is worrying that every symptom I get I put it down to fibro, but are we overlooking something more serious? That's the question I ask myself when something happens that's new. I haven't been properly diagnosed by a specialist but my doctor and I know it's fibro.

    It is so frustrating because no one has a flipping clue what we go through that's why I signed up to this site.

    I wish you all the best and I hope things settle down soon

      Thanks Victoria!!! I guess I don't like the severe pain associated with the burning & pins & needles feeling. It scared me. So all of us w/FM can all relate & spathize . THANK GOD, DO I HEAR AN "AMEN LOL!"
