Does anybody have the feeling their legs or arms weigh about 100lbs ever ?? < =text/>_popupControl(); I guess lead legs would be a good way to decribe what I feel sometimes.  Usually in the mornings and/or later in the evening I just feel like I can't take one more step my legs are so heavy.  I wonder if that has to do with fatigue.  When do you feel your lead legs the most?  yes   for me its just before a flare.  I feel like Im wading through hip deep cement.. the next day I  want to sleep all day and everything hurtsRight now it's becoming more then lessI have that too and my legs get prickly like they are going to sleep.  Is this neuropathy?   Oh yeah, right there with ya 65.  Especially this morning.  Think I am going to have to move the coffee pot upstairs for when the legs are way too heavy to make it down.

Definitely, Fibro lead legs is what i call it.

65,

That is what i meant by when I was saying I felt weighed down. Except mine was all over my body. I just kept feeling like I had a little person on my back trying to body slam me to the ground, but instead I just went to bed. 

Hope you get to doing better soon.

Now and then, I'm no doctor, but that sounds like neuropathy to me. 

Jennee, why do you call it fibro legs.  Do you not have an RA disease or did a doctor tell you it's from fibro? 

Fortunately, the meds not only helped the heavy legs, but the restless legs too!  Two for the price of one!

You might want to talk to your dr. about restless leg syndrom. I had that same problem, my legs felt like they weight 100 lbs a piece and I could hardly pick them up enough to walk. Even though I didn't have any of the major symptoms, she prescribed requip for me to try if I wanted to. I figured I didn't have anything to lose by trying so, what the heck, I gave it a try. Guess what? It worked! Don't know if this will help you or not, just a suggestion.  Good luck
