Did you have a catscan done? Did he take all the blood tests........which are more then one realizes.
Maybe you need an ultrasound done on your neck and spine or MRI.
Something is going on, I wouldnt stop until I found an answer.
My neurologist said, Never say its fibro until you have had all the test.

I agree with DDntn. It's to easy to blame everything on fibro. test should be done to rule other things out first. They may show it's something else that can be treated and you might get more relief. I also find I cry in my sleep, I'll wake up with tears streaming down my face and not know why. Good Luck Hope your feeling better.

i wonder if you have a pinched nerve? sounds like your sciatic nerve...talk to your primary doctor and see what test he can give you a script for ...

sounds like pinched sciatic nerve.

So sorry - too bad he didnt do anything.
What did he say was CAUSING it then- WHY are you having this? A person just doent have numbness and tingling for no reason?

Sounds like, if making a guess... either a disk problem (low back) or Sciatica (which could be from a disk problem) or Sciatica caused by the "Piriformis" muscle in your Glutes - if it gets too "tight" it squeezes that Sciatic nerve that runs down your leg and causes the Symptoms. The muscle is a very deep -lateral rotator of the leg. If you think about the position of a Ballerina when they have their toes pointed out (sorry-I know there is a name for this position- but I never have done ballet-lol)
Chronic muscle problem for alot of past and present Ballerinas- of course that does NOT mean you have to be a ballerina-:) just one example- there are alot of positions that make this worse. Also, alot of people stand with one foot out and the other one straight.
Anyway... If you want - I can tell you more- Also maybe ask about disk involvement?
Good luck to you.

I have alot of the same things going on but it is not all FM. Neurophathy will cause this and i all so have Lupus witch can also cause the same pain and fatigue. I am in the middle of trying to get it all figuredout so when they give me some anceres i will keep you in touch. I two have had to stop working and being single that is realy scarry. I have also aplayed for SSDI but that could take years! You will need to go to the state and try to get any help they will supply untile the SSDI kicks in. But its not easy but just keep at it. Shelle
