I have fibromyalgia (10+ yrs). Am now having difficulty typing, as my fingers on my right had have become very weak. I can hardly use my pointer finger at all. They will "jump" for a few seconds when I try to rest them when going to sleep. I'm also experiencing trembling in that hand/arm and also weakness in my right foot when walking (it doesn't want to lift up at times). Seems as if the problems are on the right side of my body. This has been a slow, gradual process - not a quick event. My neurologist said this is part of fibro. But I've never heard or read anything regarding these symptoms w/fibro. Anyone experiencing these types of problems?

Hi peanut, my hands shake alot usually though it is both of them. sometimes it is hard to get the food from the plate to my mouth. As far as jumping when I am laying in bed at night my whole body will jump when I am at the point of falling asleep not quite sure what causes this. I also have problems with lifting my foot up and alot of times going from tile to carpeting will trip me up. Having said that I am assuming that your doctor has ruled out everything else including Multiple Sclerosis. My husband has MS and he has all his problems on the right side. I remember going to an MS convention with him once before his got bad. I bet I tripped on the carpeting there about 3 or 4 times and all these people were smiling at me sympathetically thinking I was the one with MS. lol
Oh well it was one of those days. Hope this helps.
Gentle Hugs

Hey Peanut, I have the same problem. When I first started having fibro symptoms, they all usually started on my right side. Unfortunately, my left side is starting to catch up. My body also jerks when I'm trying to go to sleep.

It's a relief to know that it is fibro and not something else to deal with. Thanks!
