Just signed up for this. Found it very interesting that I was trying to find out what was causing the 'strange feeling' I have been experiencing during the night and it took me to a fibro site! It's a really hard feeling to explain but it's as if I need to keep moving about and is like restless leg syndrome but all through my body!
I've had fibromyalgia for 16 years but have only been experiencing this weird feeling recently. Interestingly I was changed onto Duloxetine 6 months ago and am wondering if that's the cause.
Looking forward to seeing what other people have to say.

The forum can be a little quiet at weekends, so please don't be put off if there are not many replies.
I am not familiar with Duloxetine, but I am wondering if that is a side effect of taking it. Does it say anything about side effects in the Patient Information Leaflet?
It is odd but true, that many of us have different symptoms, which include Restless Leg and nerve pain throughout the body. Fatigue is another which many suffer from too.

Hi, I get this regularly. During the day, it makes me have to keep getting up and walking about.
It gets worse in bed, I constantly fidgeting about through it. Amitryptaline and Pain killers, calm it down.
It usually gets worse when I'm getting a flare up.
I have been on Duloxatine for a couple of years and was on Citalopram for well over 12 years before and I've had this sensation since this all began in 2004 so, for me, I know it's definitely the Fibro.
Welcome to the forum and it is wonderful to make your acquaintance. I am so genuinely sorry to read that you are experiencing these horrid symptoms and I have pasted you an excerpt below from *Google about Duloxetine:
*Duloxetine, sold under the brand name Cymbalta among others, is mostly prescribed for major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, fibromyalgia and neuropathic pain. Wikipedia
Molar mass: 297.4146 g/mol
CAS ID: 136434-34-9
I have also pasted you a link to the **British National Formulary NICE cache on Duloxetine side effects:
Welcome to the forum, i cant help with your question but im sure some of the wonderful kind oeople here will help you.
I did wake up with a strange feeling in the night and then realised that the nightmare i had where i got married wasnt a dream!, it took me 10 years a house and 2 solicitors to treat it which considering i would have only got 7 years for manslaughter wasnt much of a deal.
