    It all makes sense now

    Hi everyone. I'm Abby. I was officially diagnosed in February of this year by a rheumatologist, but my family doctor put me on Lyrica before Christmas.

    Heavy Legs

    Lately my legs have been feeling heavy and weak, and also tight? Also, when I stand up from sitting, I see black spots and become dizzy for a few seconds. Is this just another common symptom for people with fibromyalgia? Thanks in advance.

    Searching for a Fibromyalgia doctor
