Facial Sensations

Postby omapurrr on Thu Jul 27, 2006 2:44 pm

I was diagnosed with FM about eight years ago. It seems like every time I have a wave of symptoms - I get new ones on top of the old. Does anyone have any information about why my face feels tight? I don't have pain in my face, just the feeling that I've left a mud mask on too long. (I haven't had a mud mask in 20 years) I also keep feeling like little raindrops are falling on my arms. Does anyone else experience these things or should I have it checked out as a possible new problem?

Although I would never discourage anyone from consulting with their physician, these symptoms are often associated with Fibromyalgia. The facial tightening can be the result of a muscular spasm that affects the often-used facial muscles. The raindrops could describe paresthesia, often described as tingling, numbness, or a creeping sensation. A recent patient analysis with the product FibroBalance reported an average 40% decrease in these types of discomforts. A topical product called NutraCool™, www.ghchealth.com/topical-anesthetic.php, can help to support normal pain and inflammation levels in the local area. Some other supplement suggestions are Unique B-12, a special form called methylcobalamin, and Calcium 2-AEP. These are two nutrients that are particularly supportive of the nervous system. I would also highly recommend chiropractic care to address any musculo-skeletal issues that may cause muscle spasm. Massage, if tolerable, and acupuncture can also be very helpful in helping to release tight muscles.
