fibromyalgia and eye problems

and they did a ct scan of my spine and it didnt show any problems I have the rashes that are one of the symptoms,chest pain,chronic headaches,dizziness,anxiety,eye site problems,trouble breathing and i looked it up and there all symptoms of fybromialgia

every medicine I had been put on has been problems and I have been taken off all for Fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, and arthritis. Now, my right eye is getting fuzzy, not every day, but more days all the time. My doctor has said although I need back surgery, be careful doing that because it will possibly make your fibromyalgia worse. Will I ever be able to try medicines again? I have an allergy from them...swollen tongue and throat type but, can that ever change???/ Thanks.

Can Fibromyalgia affect eye sight? My mother has fibromyalgia and is complaining that her eye sight is blurry and eyes feel strained. Closing her eyes make them feel better. We have had her eyes examined and we are told everything is fine.

How can I tell which symptoms are from which disease? I have all the pain pressure points and patches of hypersensitive, burning skin of fibromyalgia but some of the other symptoms could be either/or. Muscle weakness, tiredness, sleep problems, diarrhea, and foggy brain. A couple of months ago I noticed my legs getting weaker. And they would shake when I tried to get up from a sitting or squatting position. Then I started to hurt all over, my appetite disappeared, and I couldn't sleep.

Age over 45 years Family history of glaucoma Black racial ancestry Diabetes History of elevated intraocular pressure Nearsightedness Farsightedness History of injury to the eye Use of cortisone (steroids) Blepharitis is one of the most common disorders of the eye and is often the underlying reason for eye discomfort, redness and tearing.

I have had several root canals and all have failed- except one. I had two bridges break off. I wanted to get implants but read that it's not advisable for Lyme patients. I used to have a horrible crawling and tingling sensation on and around my left ear. I also had what I called "Picasso Vision" where my vision would fragment into three or four sections with strobing wavy lines and flashing lights. The ear and eye problems would come and go for no particular reason. My D.O.

I have fibromyalgia, leaky vavles, anemia, kidney filtration has slowed down, degenerative arthritis, GERD, migraines, sinus problems, no gall bladder. My eye sight the past three years has changed. In addition, I am perimenopausal.

Sorry no one's answered this yet. I have MS, and I've never had a relapse that could be conflated with Fibromyalgia. Pain is not my issue, but in the past I have gone blind in one eye, lost the use of one foot, had one side of my tongue go numb, had eyes that point different directions, bilateral positive Babinski etc. So, from my perspective, it's always surprising when people believe them to manifest in similar ways. Apples and oranges to me!

My main issues are the sleep apnea, dizziness, difficulty swallowing and eye problems, which I must admit I would not associate with Fibromyalgia, but I'm not sure. I suppose more tests are in order... I am surprised my blood came back completely clear as I usually have a high white blood count. I have been tested for RA and it came back negative. I'm not sure what happens next but all my blood work is done. Thank you very much for the feedback, it calmed me considerably!

I've had fibro about18 yrs now, I got the floaters (no pain) when I was about 30, they are more common in near sighted people (and common for a lot of people) BUT when it comes to your eyes, you should have them checked to be sure. I was seeing 'rainbow prisms' last year and went to the eye doc and inquired about the floaters and he told me the above.

For about a month now I've been having some strange eye symptoms. It started with some pretty sharp pain behind the right eye. This pain lasted for 3 days. The pain subsided for a couple days and then I started getting pain behind both eyes. From then on I've been getting headaches. Some other symptoms that have occured are: double-vision (only when I look down), blurred vision, a bit of dizziness and balance issues.

I am new to the community so I hope I am doing this right- I had the same problems as far as severe pain and my Drs kept saying that I was depresssed and they kept giving me anti depressants. This went on for about 10 years-I tried everything to work through the pain but nothing worked. Finally I found a good Doctor that really listened to me-I kept telling him I was depressed because I was in pain not the other way around.

ve been suffering from several different problems since I was 17 years old and I am trying to figure out where to turn next for care. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I realize this is rather long. If you have the time to read through all of this I would really appreciate any insights. Thanks. Family History: My Father was diagnosed with Reiter’s Syndrome back in the 70’s, although that is under dispute right now.

When I reach for the door knob,my hand jerks downward . I also have trouble doing small task with my hands.I feel really slow minded too.Does it make your muscle feel like a rubberband is around them? My doctor thinks I have fybromyalgia,also possible ms. he talks more about fybromyalgia. Please let me know if you have similar symptoms.

Hi Lori and welcome to the MS Forum. Honestly I don't get the sense that what you are dealing with is MS. There are probably 1,001 different symptoms to MS and each and every one of those could also be linked to a different disease as well. The combination of fibro and the back issues must be horrendous. Then you toss in the problems with the migraines, PF and the other stuff and it must be miserable.

I have Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I figured that it was FM or a side effect from some meds. Recently, I have been seeing double even if I cover one eye. This seems to come and go. It has happened 4 times in the last two weeks. The double vision usually lasts about 4-5 hours at a time. I have been experiencing pain constantly that seems to come from all around the eye. It is anywhere from mild to moderated/severe pain.

The problem is, the blurriness in my eye switches alternately between my left and right eye. One day my left eye will be blurry and the next day my right eye will be blurry. Today, it's my left eye that is bothering me. It's not painful or anything, and this is not an everyday occurrence. Everything looks kind of hazy if I close the eye without the blurriness. It's very annoying, having what seems like a film covering your eye every other day.

Since May I noticed weakness like on right side of my face specially around my right eye and right side of upper lip and also for 3 or 4 times my lip got swollen. I visited by neurologist in June 2014, and I did these tests listed below: MRI BRAIN IAC/CPA WWO CONTRAST VESTIBULAR BATTERY TEST VITAMIN B12 BLOOD BASIC METABOLIC PNL LYME AB PANEL WBLOT FTA-ABS, IGM BLD SED RATE CBC + AUTO DIFF STAFF REVIEW FOR CBC All results came bacl normal.

I have been told my mother that at 2 years old I put a bobbie pin in an electrical outlet and she had to get a mop to dislodge me. My question is could my fibromyalgia, reoccuring shingles, and electric shock feeling be caused by this and what can be done to stop it.

I had a history of bladder problems, retention and difficulty going, and the urologist at the time recommended a bladder suspension, which is usually done for incontinence. 2 of my doctors told me not to have it but when I needed a hysterectomy, I had the suspension done vaginaly and glad I did! That was over 20 years ago after we moved, was having some issues and had to find a new urologist. He did biopsies and diagnosed IC.

i went to a dr for a ladder fall at work and an xray revealed mild aortic calcification and was given a print out describing such. Was told to go to a dr. I went and had another xray and cholestrol blood work . Cholestrol came back hight but xray did not show anything (now have changed eating habits) . dr said bring the print out as i forgot and now says not to drink ANY milk to help the calcification ? Now i feel as if I cannot eat anything as I now check labels and many food have calcium.

Have you been tested for celiac disease and a full thyroid panel screening? I too have various comorbid diseases fibro, osteo, tmj, IBS, Gad, IC, and major depressive disorder etc There is not much I can say other than I had to fight for tests , specialist and I am still in pain. I go to a pain clinic for Endo, fibro and tmj but it's far and I can't take time off to go often so some things like my jaw do not get taken care of since I am trying to get all these disease in check.

Another possibility is sleep disturbances (like sleep apnea, imbalance of rapid eye and non rapid eye movement sleep etc.). You may sleep your customary 7-8 hours and yet feel fatigued. You need sleep studies to rule this out. Other possibilities are chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, low Vit b12, low iron, low calcium, sodium and potassium. Hyperthyroidism too causes increased sweating and tiredness. A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind.
