Hi I haven’t been diagnosed with fybro, but get a lot of the symptoms. I was wondering if anyone suffers with shooting pains in their head & general headaches. Also tinnitus?

and itchy ears? TIA.

Happy Christmas & best wishes for 2025.

I wouldn’t say these are specific Fibro symptoms

My shooting headpain has been put down to neck arthritis. I have had injections in the back of the head which helped for a while. I also have tinnitus but not fibro related as it's part of my hearing loss. None of the medics have said that either of these problems are due to my fibro. Hope this helps

I get very bad pulsing headaches and my GP said it was high blood pressure no doubt down to worry. She said I was close to a stroke. I’ve got three months to get it under control or I’m on Statins for the rest of my life. I’ve cut down on coffee and eat a banana for potassium per day..

Thanks for your reply. Hope you get a diagnosis, it’s horrid when you don’t know why you feel so rough.

Best wishes.

Merry Christmas! Yes I do get a tingling electrical sensation that goes up on my right side of my head, headaches, tinnitus, pain in my right ear, itching when the liquid wax comes running out of my ears. Just recently learned that this is a genetic thing of having the liquid wax vs the hard wax. Yes fibro brings a whole list of different symptoms.
