Left sided weakness

Does anyone with fibromyalgia experience left sided weakness?  I have really bad weakness, my left side feels weak and heavy.  My left foot drags a lot.  It's difficult to do things with my left side.  I feel like I'm going insane.  Even sitting still is such a bother, feels like lead.

I did go to MS specialist and MS was ruled out by two different ones.  I was diagnosed with Fibro due to pain for over 2 years, sometimes even my skin hurts, tenderpoints, sleep study, the tiredness during the day is UNBEARABLE, stiffness, it takes me forever to roll out of bed in the morning because the stiffness is so bad.  I do take a bunch of medications.  I find that they don't work, but I thought I had to give them a chance, as suggested by my Doctor.  I find the only one that works is the one to help me sleep at night.  I have started exercising, but sometimes the pain is so bad I get discouraged.  Is there anything you can suggest to help.  

I hope you enjoy your vacation, it's been a lil' cold today and is expected to be cold for the next few days.

I don't believe it's due to fibro either.  I'd get to your physician quickly because what you describe could be symptoms of a stroke.  Please don't put it off too long.

Yes I've had this.  Mine was from possible lyme disease.  Have you seen a neurologist and had MRI's etc.. This isn't really fibro.
