Yes, headaches are a very common symptom for people with fibromyalgia. In fact, tens of thousands of MyFibroTeam members report headaches as one of their regular symptoms. These headaches can vary quite a bit from person to person:
- Some last for days at a time
- They don't always fit neatly into categories like migraines or tension headaches — sometimes they just happen
- The pain can spread beyond the head to areas like the neck and face
- Even on days when they aren't completely debilitating, they can make everything harder
As one MyFibroTeam member put it, "It doesn't really matter what the cause is though, they are all miserable."
If headaches are affecting your quality of life, it's worth bringing them up with your health care provider to explore pain relief options.
