My thumbs!!

Ok this is driving me crazy!!! Any one else have problems with there thumbs?? The very tip of both my thumbs feel almost numb feeling?? There driving me crazy, they kinda hurt if I press on the nail it's like under the nail that hurts?? I know since all this "fibro" started I've had an occasional to tingly finger but nothing like this?? Is this something new?? Please help all this new "pain" freaks me out and gets my anxiety going crazy. I just haven't got used to this or the thought of any of it yet :-( thanks

2girlsandaboy,
Hello .... yes this fibro is a whacky condition. I bet next year this time you'll be saying." I remember when my thumbs hurt and how that freaked me out, now my ears burn and turn red for no reason and my thumbs are fine!!!". That's just how this works. What hurts today may not 3 months from now. Crazy I know. Try not to dwell on it because anxiety can manifest as all sorts of physical craziness as well.

It's going to take you some time to get use to all this. One member (myself09) likes the rule of thumb that it takes a year or better to start to go with the flow of this. It takes time to learn that while highly annoying or painful you will get through this, and you will!

Hang in there and keep posting.

He s right the pain will move and come and go in different places.

Today i am just stiff and achey from overdoing...and weather already turning colder. We got into the 40's last night ..i really felt that!

Question: anyone's allergies / sinuses seem to get worse after being diagnosed with fibro? Before I had some allergies and sinus issues but nothing like I'm experiencing now?? My throat swelling/ears/ feels although my nose is very dry my gums swell up and almost feels like something dripping down back of my throat, been making me feel like I need to cough but it's a dry cough. :-( I see a specialist Thursday hope I get some answers other than " it's just fibro" :-(

I know my sinus issues have increased and it does seem to correspond with when I started having fibro symptoms. The cool air does the same for me, too, though.

My digestive issues (fibro related?  I think so) started about 3 months after my youngest child was born. 

I still get numbness here and there, but (so far) it's not as prevalent as it was at the beginning of my fibro 'journey.' I hope you're feeling a little better soon. Maybe you could do things with your children where you can be sitting down with a comfy pillow behind you??

Wish you the best!    Keep us posted.
