I get numbness on my left thigh, very dry skin on my left foot which also itches regularly at bedtime. I use 5% Lidocaine ointment to stop the itching and lotion but it doesn't seem to matter. My right foot is fine. Why the left? Is the right side of the head is a result of trauma or target of some disease bug? The topic has come up about weird symptoms on the left side and for a very long time I've thought that the majority of people diagnosed with fibro are women because most women are marriedโ€ฆ read more

Thatโ€™s the truth. Lol. Husbands ๐Ÿ™„ Everything to due with my head, neck and shoulder always hurt on my left side also. Jaw pain, ear pain and migraines almost always on my left side. Thatโ€™s weird. In fact have a left sided headache today. Ugh! Hope you are doing good ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’—

Mine is almost all left, sometimes I would like pain on the other side so I could change focus and have some respite from the left.

My pains are so constant and nagging that a different pain is almost a break.

OMG, me too. Constant swelling, numbing, shooting, stabbing, itching, tingling, wet drop sensations and much more to my left side from tip of my head to the bottom of my foot. When I have flares I have pain on the right side too but my left side trumps it all the time and it never goes away just eases a little on my better days. This is the first time I have read a post with someone so similar to me.
