Members connected over experiencing sharp, one-sided head pains, with many sharing similar symptoms including ice-like sensations, facial numbness, and fears of serious conditions like strokes before realizing these pains might be linked to fibromyalgia. Several members offered practical insights, including the possibility of migraines developing alongside fibro, teeth grinding causing jaw and neck tension that triggers headaches, and catching migraines early with medication before they worsen. A recurring theme was the importance of getting new or concerning symptoms checked by a doctor to rule out other causes, while finding comfort in knowing they're not alone in experiencing these frightening episodes.

Me to. I get pain ontheleft hand side of my head and a weird sensation like someone has put an icepad on the side of my head and down to my shoulder. The pain in my head makes the side of my face and left side of my mouth feel like its not working. I was scared i was having a stroke. A few colleagues at work declared me as drunk. That of course was rubbish but i get the pain in my head quite a lot. I know it will pass so i try to ignore it.

I've had migraines all my life, but lots of people seem to develop them with Fibro. You should get your GP to check this out. Also your dentist may be able to help, as I was told I'd been grinding my teeth in my sleep. This affected the muscles in my jaw and neck which caused headaches.

I Used to have Migraines really badly for a while, and I know the one-sided head pain is one of the common symptoms of a migraine. Now that I know the symptoms, I can take my medication early and catch the headaches before they turn into real "headbangers!"
