La Pine, OR

Ive recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, so I am still trying to figure out all the symptoms and everything else. I have been experiencing swelling of the veins in my hands and feet. When it happens it is very painful and feels like the pain is coming from the veins. Sometimes i get the same feeling but my veins almost look constricted.

Thank you everyone for your responses. It’s so nice knowing I’m not alone in all the crazy things going on with my body. Especially when the doctors give me the “I have no answers, I don’t know whats going on” responses.

Sorry to hear that I hope you feel better shortly. I been diagnosed for 4 years now and still learning about Fibro. Some people also vary in symptoms than the other. Just take it slow, don’t over exert yourself and get to know your limits of when to stop. I don’t notice any issues with my veins but I do get pressure around them in my hands. Wishing you well, take care my friend.

Yes, my veins do. I wonder if it's a hydration issue, but I personally drink a lot of water. It's just a piece to our fibro puzzle. Great question. This site helped me feel less alone.

You will soon learn that ANY problem or reaction can be a symptom of FM to at least a few of our warriors. It might help you to keep a journal of your symptoms. That way you may be able to predict a little of what is coming at you. I know to head for bed when any weather changes are coming.
Prayers that you are soon able to find exercises, relaxers, meds, and heat or cold applications that will help.
