Chesapeake, VA

Anyone get this needle / pricking sensation in parts of their fingers, toes, or sometimes random areas? I am not diabetic. Just curious if its normal FM symptoms. I’m already on 900 mg Gabapentin.

Members confirmed that the needle-like pricking sensations in fingers, toes, and random body parts are common fibromyalgia symptoms, even without diabetes, and many shared that they also experience these sensations despite taking gabapentin. Several members mentioned neuropathy in their feet, the importance of vitamin B, and upcoming or past EMG nerve tests, with some recounting frustrating experiences of doctors dismissing their widespread pain as simply lack of exercise or refusing to acknowledge fibromyalgia as a real condition. A recurring theme was the unpredictability and annoyance of these sensations, the difficulty of being touched when they occur, and the shared determination to keep advocating for answers despite dismissive medical responses.

Yes! I have an appointment to get a nerve test. They stick pins in you to see if you scream I guess lol. If you don’t scream I think it means that you have lost sensation in your nerves. I have neuropathy mostly in my feet. I also take gabapentin. I heard we need vitamin B. Pins and needles are common with fibro.🥲

@A MyFibroTeam Member, are you referring to EMG test? I had that done a couple years ago. My Neurologist didn’t believe in Fibromyalgia. So she said I do have nerve problems on my shoulders and I have carpel tunnel syndrome. When I asked her about the other body parts that hurts everyday, she said I just lack of exercise 🤦🏻‍♀️. It’s a struggle with different doctors.
