yes fibromyalgia can affect the occipital nerves which are the nerves located in the back of the neck that are connected to the head and eyes. if these nerves are affected by stiffness and pain it will also upset balance and spatial awareness ( the brains ability to judge distance) I when I informed my Doctor of this he recommended an appointment with an optician. hope this helps. good luck and best wishes. x

I had severe vertigo once when I had a head cold. Unfortunately, I was driving on the freeway and I tried to clear my ears by holding my nose and blowing. My ear popped or something like that and the whole freeway started going back and forth. It was sooo scary I was able to get off the next exit and got to a gas station. I didn't have a cell at the time so went to a phone booth to call someone. I tried to walk to the phone booth and gravity felt like it was pulling me sideways toward the side my ear popped. I couldn't even walk. By time anyone was able to get there, it was about over. It took nearly an hour. I just sat in my car spinning and trying not to throw up. Our bodies are very delicate. I never saw a doctor for this because it went away but I wonder if it affected my hearing as I was told years later I had lost some hearing in that ear. Interesting. Hope you don't feel like that again. It's awful. Hugs.

I honestly know how you geel. Even when you are walking you feel like you are walking on an angel. Headache. I think its vertigo. I had it for a few weeks. I had tingling in my face and it felt like warm water. Pins and needles down my arm, leg, hand and foot. I also had inner tremors to go along with it. I eent to the neurologist and they think its fibro. Good luck to you and hugs

Sounds a bit like labrynthritis???

It's so strange what on earth is happening to our bodies that they can't find an answer too. Thankfully so far this sensation or feeling what ever it is or was hasn't come back. X
