Yes, my neurologist commented a high number of his migraine patients have fibro. He said common headaches are also a symptom of fibro. He provides Botox for my migraines. I went from 14 to 16 migraines a month to 4 or 5.

Yes 🤕 headaches and migraines are a fibromyalgia symptom . Fibromyalgia can have over 200 different symptoms. Sometimes it disables people completely to the point they are bed bound such as myself and some others have mild symptoms where they are still able to work or continue their hobbies and activities. I was a building construction worker for many years , a tractor trailer driver and a warehouse worker . I’m 45 yo bed bound sick for years .

Are migraines a symptom of fibromyalgia?

Yes, migraines are commonly experienced by people with fibromyalgia. While widespread chronic pain is the defining symptom of fibromyalgia, migraine headaches frequently occur alongside it and add to the overall burden of pain.

Many MyFibroTeam members report experiencing different types of headaches, including migraines. Some describe severe, long-lasting headaches that can persist for days or even weeks. The pain can spread beyond typical headache areas to affect the neck and face as well.

These headaches can significantly impact daily life, making it harder to function even when you're trying to push through. If you're experiencing frequent or severe headaches, it's worth discussing pain relief options with your healthcare provider to help manage this symptom.
