Is super sensitive painful skin symptom of Fybromyalgia? Does anyone have this?

There are a ton more symptoms than listed above. Heightened senses if DEFINITELY a symptom, so much so that one doctor I heard speak on the subject renamed it sensitive sensitivity syndrome. My sense of smell has increased to the point of utter annoyance and I do know of several fibromites who have had such sensitivity to touch that they can't stand to be hugged. The thought of having a massage (which I love) is unbearable to them. So this is not an unusual symptom of fibromyalgia. I have had fibro for 13 years and ran a support group for several years. I am very knowledgeable on the subject. I can tell you I am a lot better than I was the first five years of my illness. What helped me was Mag-Citrate (Magnesium and Malic Acid), exercise and losing weight also helped. I used to take 6-8 Tylenol 3's a day, but now take only one at bedtime and one in the morning. I know I would be a heck of a lot better if I could eliminate sugar from my diet but I just love my sweets too much. There are plenty of websites with information on fibromyalgia. I hope you find some answers and get some relief from this annoying symptom.

Some of the symptoms of Fybromyalgia are: *Pain * Anxiety * Concentration and memory problems -- known as "fibro fog" * Depression * Fatigue * Headaches * Irritable bowel syndrome * Morning stiffness * Painful menstrual cramps * Sleep problems * Swelling, numbness, and tingling in hands, arms, feet, and legs * Tender points * Urinary symptoms Your friend may be correct. I'd check with your doctor. My mom has it. She says skin sensitivity is a problem for her.
