Tingling and Tinnitus (Ringing in the Ears)

[PlateletGal]

Hi Guys,

I know I've had both of these symptoms. Well a member here was recently told by her rheumatologist that these are not symptoms of fibro. I disagree and know I've read posts from many fibro & CFS patients who have either or both of these conditions.

I thought we'd take a poll.. for this member.

So how many of you have these symptoms ?

well i have both! and my rheumatologist told me it was part of my fibro and to expect my face and neck to swell at times , when i asked why he shrugged and said it just seems to happen i don,t know why!!he also said sometimes you will also get pains when breathing !!and don,t be suprised to wake up and not be able to move ,not even your head!! all of wich have happened,,,,, i love my rheumatologist he is so honest,, allthough at the time{8yrs ago} i thought he was nuts !! how can you get all those things?

I've always been told that the Tinnitus (Which I've had since I was 12)follows the migraines,so which symptom/s preceedes???Another question is which type of Tinnitus do you have ???

I don't have tinnitus but have had some tingling. I do have the balance problem though, like VaBreeze and have noticed that getting worse.  I thought it was just my body getting older. I learn something new here everyday!

Not sure about the tingling, but I will get tinnitus. Sometimes I think an attack is going to occur because some pressure will build up and then some loud ringing will occur in one or both ears. Usually subsides after 10-20 minutes. Weird stuff.

I have both and many other symptoms.  It's true about people rolling their eyes up.  I work in healthcare and every time someone who had FMS would come in I would see co-workers rolling they eyes up.

Many CFS patients, including myself, have constant ringing or buzzing in both their ears. I've read that poor health can lead to tinnitus... here is what the treatments are for this condition, although I haven't tried any of these:
