Sounds very much like a fibro thing. I take pregabalin for this aspect of the condition.

Yep Myrtil I can deff empathise with this weird symptom I often feel a tingling humming sensation throughout my body particularly in the hands legs and feet; its mega irritating and like you i'm often kept awake by it :-( often swear im gonna electrocute someone someday just by touching them lol oh the joys of fibro eh :-)

Yes Myrtil and it's awful isn't it. I wonder have you had a review of your meds lately. Perhaps describing your symptoms to your GP might help and perhaps a change of meds or dose of your current ones might relieve this a bit for you. Sometimes we can become acclimatised to the meds we take and every now and again need something else as our symptoms evolve.

I hope you manage to get some help for this Myrtil, please let us know how you get on. Take care, here's a hug for you. (((hug))) x

That's good that you went to the Doctors Myrtil. Hopefully your pain relief will help you better along with the Amitriptyline. If you get sufficient sleep, you should generally feel better able to cope with your pain etc.

I understand completely about you saying you would like to carry on and do a few hours work. I wanted to do the same but came to a grinding halt over three years ago now, I really miss my work, I loved it. Never mind.

I hope you manage to do this, it really helps as a distraction from Fibro too! Wishing you all the best! Here's a hug (((hug)))
