Members shared their experiences with prolonged earaches related to fibromyalgia, with several reporting that ENT specialists ruled out infections or wax buildup and attributed the pain to fibromyalgia itself, while others described symptoms like constant ringing, twisting sensations, and pain lasting over a year. Several members offered practical suggestions, including checking for jaw clenching or TMJ issues (which can be a side effect of medications like Duloxetine), using a mouth guard to reduce inflammation, and following up with ENT specialists or dentists to rule out other causes. A recurring theme was the frustration of having persistent symptoms without clear answers, yet finding solidarity in knowing that ear pain and ringing are commonly experienced by others in the fibromyalgia community.
