Yes, headaches are a common symptom related to fibromyalgia. Nearly 46,000 MyFibroTeam members report experiencing headaches as part of their condition.
These headaches can be different from typical migraines or tension headaches. A MyFibroTeam member described them as "fibro headaches" that occur "just... because" - not fitting the usual headache patterns but still being miserable to deal with.
Some characteristics of fibro-related headaches include:
- They can last for extended periods (sometimes over a week)
- Pain may spread beyond typical headache areas to affect the neck and face
- They can occur daily or frequently
- Even when they don't completely stop you from functioning, they make everything harder
If you're experiencing persistent headaches, it's worth talking to your healthcare provider about pain relief options that might work for you.
