I hate the shaky part! Makes it hard to write, hold my coffee without spilling etc. As for the jelly legs, oh boy, that’s really uncomfortable and a bit scary, feels like my legs are going to collapse. Isn’t fibro such fun??? Pins and needles, always. Wish I had something more positive to say except that I’ve become used to it, hopefully you will too.

Are you experiencing symptoms like jelly legs, difficulty speaking, shaky hands, and pins and needles that might be related to fibromyalgia?

The symptoms you're describing—numbness, tingling (pins and needles), and shakiness—are actually common with fibromyalgia. Many people with fibro experience numbness and tingling, especially in their arms, feet, hands, and legs.

These symptoms can come and go unpredictably. Just because they disappeared for months doesn't mean they won't return—fibromyalgia symptoms often fluctuate in intensity and frequency.

Since you weren't able to complete the MRI years ago and these symptoms have returned, it's important to reconnect with your doctor. They can:
- Evaluate your current symptoms
- Discuss alternative imaging options if needed (given the metalwork in your nose)
- Help determine if these symptoms are fibro-related or need further investigation
- Adjust your treatment plan if necessary

You're not alone in experiencing these frustrating symptoms. Many MyFibroTeam members report similar issues with numbness, tingling, and coordination difficulties as part of their fibromyalgia experience.
