Fibromyalgia varies from person to person, so it's hard to tell how each individual is going to be affected. Some people can have pain in one place in the morning, and it may have changed by evening, or it can change by day to day and from place to place on the body. xx

Hi there....yes the symptoms change and travel all over the body....from aching, to sharp stabbing pains as in the knees or feet, numbness and tingling in hands....elec. shock sensations. I also have a swishing sound in my head. at times, which could be Fibro, Tinitus, or when a certain med. is lacking. Fatigue is constant, anxiety too. I take Cymbalta for pain and depression plus Norco and Provigil. Late onset diabetes has occured too but I only take pills for that. I know I should exercise but cannot. I'm 74 and have had this for at least 25 yrs. My Dr. is knowledgeable and kind. I wish you the best of luck in battling this condition.

Yep they change big time this end can depend alot on the weather or whats going on in your life at the time/ what you were doing a day or so ago is a real head scratcher. Think i described my pain to docs as weird and not so wonderful that moves around the body. Most recently it's felt like being stung just above the lip. Also shoulder pain that made me feel physically sick with pain when using computer. Up until recently i was convinced it was RSI until i got the pain when having not been on the computer. Fibro tests you thats for sure as sneaks up and into places when least expecting it.
