Fibromyalgia/Essential Tremors/Ringing Ears
 

Hello,
I am experiencing Fibromylagia. I was diagnosed last year but I realized I have had it for several years. My ears also ring which begin in 2006. For the last 25 years after my son had his first seizure, my head would shake when I was nervous or scared as would my hands. It is so embarrassing. Plus when someone points it out or/and you realize it the shaking gets worse. I notice when I drink alcohol it seemed to settle down. When I began taking medication for Fibromyalgia I was hoping it would help my tremors. It has not. Nor has it helped the ringing in my ears. can all of this be related? My head tremors have never gotten any worse==it just does not go away. I am tired of the pain, joint aches, constant ringing in my ears and the tremors. I had breast cancer and been four years cancer free. I thought when I went through chemo it might get rid of the tremors and ringing in my ears==not at all. Oh, I also now have arm lymphadema.
Can anyone suggest anything? Does this all relate to each other? Is it because of the Fibromyalgia?
Thank you for listening!

Hi, I am so sorry about all your health issues :hug: I have had fibro for at least 15 yrs and yes the ringing in the ears are related to it even ear lobes are tender, every part of the body is affected by fibro, I used to gives massages to my sister and I would even message a place she had no idea it would be tender and she would just be in awe and say how did you know that area is soar too, well I would say don't forget I have it too, I diagnosed her and she wouldn't believe me till the Dr. confirmed it any way neurathopy feet come in down the road too which is very painful, I will be praying for you.
