Members connected over the shared experience of developing small red spots from burst blood vessels under the skin, with many expressing relief at learning this may be another symptom of fibromyalgia rather than something more serious. Several members described the spots as tiny pin pricks or red freckles appearing on areas like the stomach and back, with some noting they first appeared during pregnancy and have since returned. A recurring theme was gratitude for the question being asked and frustration that fibromyalgia remains under-researched, leaving members to piece together symptoms and answers on their own.

I do too. I got a lot when I was pregnant so I thought it was hormones. I have started seeing them pop up again. I am so happy you asked!!!!
