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?

Like VaBreeze, tinnitus and balance issues were the first noticeable problems, followed by myalgia and tingling.  In retrospect, the heart palpitations and mild asthma that started a couple of months before may also be part of it all as well, as I was one of the "gradual onset" types.

I have both of these symptoms and the tinnitus started first.

  I really do think that the people who roll their eyes and whisper behind their hands need a wakeup call. Most people watch the Lyrica commercial on television and see that the actress is getting around just fine, and it makes me so angry!! They need to show what this disease really does to a person, people need to see the truth.

   It is so sad that because we are laughed at and ridiculed in ways that are so hurtful have been the cause of more than we'll ever know to commit suicide. It breaks my heart.

100% so far... I hope our member feels better and gets her diagnosis ASAP. I think for me anyway, the worst part was not knowing what was wrong with me. The second worst thing is all of the judgmental people out there who roll their eyes when you tell them that you have either fibro or CFS.
