I am like you all, I was in a car accident and also have extensive neck and back injuries. I have functional movement disorder in addition to fibromyalgia. Cymbalta and gabapentin help with the pain and tingling, itching, crawling nerve sensations. I also take a multivitamin, magnesium, B, and iron. It is a difficult road with the pain and weakness.

I have given up with even mentioning it to anybody. It’s something I’ve had for many years. I got so tired of the Dr looking at me with doubt.

So sorry to hear about your accident and resulting issues. My car accident was many years ago and I am still dealing with the repercussions.
I will pray for you to improve soon. I have been told by two specialists that they feel that a trauma, such as that of a car accident, can cause the start of fibromyalgia. It seems to be tied to a physical trauma that the body has gone through. That’s what seems to baffle some doctors that I have been able to speak with.
