Do you experience vertigo-like sensations, especially feeling like your car is still moving after you've put it in park?

While vertigo isn't specifically listed as a primary fibromyalgia symptom, many people with fibromyalgia do experience dizziness and balance issues. The sensation you're describing - feeling movement when you're actually still - can be disorienting and concerning, especially while driving.

Fibromyalgia can cause:
* Sensory sensitivities, including heightened sensitivity to motion
* Balance problems
* Cognitive symptoms (fibro fog) that might affect spatial awareness
* Fatigue that can contribute to dizziness

The feeling of continued movement after stopping could be related to how fibromyalgia affects your nervous system's processing of sensory information. Some MyFibroTeam members report similar experiences with dizziness and balance difficulties.

It's important to discuss these symptoms with your doctor, especially since they occur while driving. They can help determine if this is related to your fibromyalgia or if there's another cause that needs attention. Your safety on the road is crucial, so don't hesitate to get this checked out.
