Members responded to a question about widespread tingling, confirming it is a common and normal symptom of fibromyalgia that can affect the head, face, arms, legs, hands, and feet, with the clinical term being paresthesia. Several members shared that the tingling can be scary and annoying, particularly when it affects the face or occurs on one side of the body for extended periods, with one member noting their symptoms improved significantly after starting Lyrica. A recurring theme was mutual reassurance that others experience the same sensations, offering comfort and validation to those feeling alone or frightened by these nerve-related symptoms.

Usually arms and hands for me sometimes feet. I just started the head and face last week and it terrified me!

People with fibromyalgia may experience numbness or tingling in their legs and feet, which may also be present in their hands or arms. ... No one is exactly sure what causes people with fibromyalgia to experience paresthesia. Two possible theories include muscle stiffness and spasms causing muscles to press on the nerves.

It's called Paresthesia
