The rheumatologist I see is wonderful. She is very thorough. I've noticed as time goes on, that my symptoms are becoming more severe. I started medication for it a little over a week ago. I'm not sure if it's the Fibro or the medication, but I can't seem to complete some of my words. Sometimes I feel like I'm slurring my words a bit. Is this unusual? Symptoms are all still there. Waiting for the pain relief to kick in. I was told it could take up to two weeks. Any info is much appreciated!

I had had a lot of muscle twitches when I am relaxed. I am also more sensitive to the cold. I go from feeling cold one minute to feeling like I am burning up the next. I also get a fair amount of muscle spasms, especially in my neck and the back of my thighs.
I slurr my words sometimes. Im very forgetful even short term. My vision has changed. I forget how to spell and Im a teacher.
I also have "word" trouble ... not so much slurring, but the word is out there, I just can't reach it. this is very frustrating for me as I used to have a large vocabulary and considered myself an above-average communicator. now there are times I can't form the most simple of sentences. when the word finally comes to me, I blurt it out ~ at this point, completely out of context ... my family is used to it. but I think the rest of the world thinks I have Tourette's (sp?)
