    Does fibro cause higher chance of migraine or consistent headache?

    @NY Farmwife, my apologies for the late reply! I had an MRI of the entire spine and it's normal except for Tarlov cysts being present in a few places. I had an appointment with every specialist including a rheumatologist who is treating me for fibromyalgia and monitoring me for progress under...

    Does fibro cause higher chance of migraine or consistent headache?

    @Jemima yes, you are right about that. I think I should extended my food trigger list to a behavior/stimuli trigger list and stay diligent about adopting the same pattern everyday. I never thought my period could become a problem because at my worst with the Fibro flare I could not tell if it...

    Does fibro cause higher chance of migraine or consistent headache?

    @Jemima, I appreciate your response! I finally found the time with my busy work schedule to respond. You said something that I had yet to search for and that is the phantom smells. OMG! I do smell burning cigarette smoke out of nowhere and realize that when I get this, typically a terrible...

    Does fibro cause higher chance of migraine or consistent headache?

    Asking this question because I noticed the worst symptoms fibro gives me deals with headache and neurological disturbance (many unexplained things). After having a highly sensitive MRI (normal results with a white matter intensity the neuro believes is not a real lesion) and being assigned...

    Me too! I was scared at first but then I said stress will do me no good with fibro, so I dropped that and just went.

    Eye flashes

    Yes! I have to keep reminding myself this is a diagnosis of exclusion. The good part about it is my GP admits she was not taught to recognize it as a diagnosis because the community does not know much about it, but she stated she is willing to refer me for functional medicine and continue seeing...

    Are migraines and headaches part of fibromyalgia? How many people with fibromyalgia get migraines?

    @Auriel thanks for coming back on to see if I was still around to talk more about this subject. I just want to be sure I can collect as much information about fibro so I can address it with a functional medicine doctor. The neurologist and other specialists pretty much don't acknowledge fibro...

    Eye flashes

    @sunkacola just dropping a line to follow-up about the eye doctor. The visit went well, they all laughed at me that my prescription was mild, but the findings on the actual exam were normal and in great condition. They even took pictures of my retina in both eyes and all the results were...

    @Auriel will you point me to the information that states fibromyalgia is similar to dysfunction of the temporal lobe? I would appreciate it.

    Are migraines and headaches part of fibromyalgia? How many people with fibromyalgia get migraines?

    I have weird head pain that does not follow the pattern of a migraine. So I'd say it's some kind of headache that does not respond to OTC meds and am grateful that I have a low dose of amitriptyline because now I can bend down without feeling like my head will explode from pain etc. It The...
