How To Treat The Extreme Pain And Numbness In Hands And Feet Having Fibromyalgia?

yes hi i am 41 and have been diagnosed w/ Fibromyalgia over 10 years ago. I take Savella for it but here lately my symptoms have become horrible--in the last month i have had extreme pain and numbness and tingling and pain in my arms and feet. Severe headaches off and on since about Sept of last year. My PCP decided to send me for a MRI without contrast--yesterday the result came back and cerebral atrophy--frontal---the radiologist wrote it was abnormal for a 41 year old female. I also was hospitalized back in Oct 2013 for chest pain but was told it was cornoary spasms and my carotid US and echo and Stress test came back ok--I was told my BP was a little high. I am not overweight. I wonder if since i had the MRI without contrast if that there is still somthing missing---my thing is i wonder if i have MS? i wonder if an MRI with contrast would be better and show up lesions possibly? My dr hasnt called me back w/ the results but i got a copy of them from the hospital. I am waiting for him to review and get back w me on this--- also about 10 years ago i went in recovery w/ anorexia---i was extreme anorexic for over 5 years prior to that but now i am in full recovery---any insight would be appreciated---i wonder if i could have MS or is it my fibro? and why do i have cerebral atrophy? i forgot to mention i have also had eye probs in the last month--blurry vision/and floaters--- thank u for any info u could provide---
