Fibromyalgia: Anyone out there with the same diagnosis?

Hello everyone 😊. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 13 years ago.
The last 3-4 weeks I have been getting numbness, tingling, twitching and pain in the bottom of both feet, blurry vision and my feet and toes constantly cramp up day and night. I've also been getting horrible cramping along the tendon that runs on the outer side of my lower right leg.
I have triger finger in my left ring finger.
Of course I have been investigating other possible diseases such as MS and Lupus.
While researching I remembered that after donating blood several years ago the blood bank sent me a letter to inform me that I have HLA Class 1 antibodies. I also had viral meningitis 36 years ago.
I'm wondering if HLA Class 1 and maybe viral meningitis may have made me more susceptible to get MS.
Has anyone else had experience with this?
Any info will be helpful.
God bless

Have you seen your physician and been evaluated for MS or Lupus? This is serious enough that you ought not try to self-diagnose.
Here is what Mayo Clinic has to say about diagnosis and treatment for MS:

and for lupus:
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/lupus/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20365790
Keep in mind that many other conditions can cause the symptoms you are experiencing as well.
When were you last seen for a thorough physical evaluation?
