Members overwhelmingly confirmed experiencing the full range of symptoms listed in the original question about fibromyalgia, with many expressing relief at discovering they were not alone in dealing with sensations like crawling skin, joint clicking, jaw pain, and rib discomfort. Several members shared practical insights, including that rib pain is often costochondritis (common with fibro), that medications can cause dry mouth leading to dental problems, and that antihistamines like Claritin can help manage persistent itching. A recurring theme was the unpredictable and exhausting nature of living with fibromyalgia's wide array of symptoms, met with solidarity and reassurance from the community that these experiences are shared and valid.

@A MyFibroTeam Member - here is a list of all the things that Fibro could give you:

Widespread body pain, anxiety, bran fog, depression,dizziness,dry eyes,dry mouth,ear ringing,fatigue, headaches, (Irritable Bowel Syndrome),impaired memory, irritable, bladder, ,joint pain, muscular pain, restless leg , skin rashes,sleeplessness,vision issues,widespread pain, weight gain,itching all over.

This does not mean you will have all of these - - it is a list so that if you should encounter any of the above, you will know that it is the Fibromyalgia.

Sure hope this has helped you.

I have stopped thinking, "wtf" all the time with the random electric shocks, spasms, etc. I try to laugh at it. It's all so unpredictable

Yes, I have experienced all those symptoms, but never connected them to my fibromyalgia.
