Do you take anything for the allergies, I'm on fexofenadine 120mg they seem to help me with mine although I can't see them helping with teeth pain I think this would be a separate symptom usually this is due to myofacial pain syndrome, I'm not sure if you've been diagnosed with this as this another symptom related to fibro...
never thought about allergies being related to fibro. I have facial pain. not all the time. but most nights, I feel like that pillow is lead. my face and the sides of my head hurt from the pillow.
YES
Yes! I finally got tired of the constant sinus infections and went for allergy testing - doctor says I wasn't allergic to anything to give me shots for and sent me on to another specialist to see if there was something structurally wrong - cat scans say no. So lots of money spent on nothing resolved!!! I work in a classroom with 4th graders so I get exposed to so much!!! My primary care doctor, who is Internal Medicine, keeps me on Fluticasone Propionate Nasal Spray year round and when I still get infections, I use saline solution sprays in between and still might have to go on antibiotic when they get really bad. But I get hit really hard with them seasonally and sometimes more often.
I take the fexofenadine too. right now, not enough. 180 mg. late afternoon I have had to take benedryl.
