Pins And Needles

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Dublin, IE

Recently I've started getting pins & needles on the outside of my right foot, top and bottom (constantly for about 6 weeks)
Now its started on the outside of my right hand from the top of my little finger to my wrist.
Any one know / experiencing about this?
Is this fibromyalgia or something else?

Sound like it could be neuropathy which is a companion of sorts, with fibro.

Various numbness and tingling complaints can be related to sleep-breathing disorders, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, heart failure.
I had pin and needles feelings in extremities for several months because of severe anxiety, which caused subconscious hyperventilation. During cognitive behavioral therapy I was asked to breath through a tiny straw to reproduce the feeling of pin and needles (it did!) to teach me that some of the weird symptoms I have been experiencing was the result of anxiety not the result of health issues.
The best if you discuss your symptoms with your doctor, hope you feel better soon.
