Are others with fibromyalgia experiencing sore throat, ear aches, dry/itchy/watery eyes, blurry vision, and congestion?
Yes, you're definitely not alone! Fibromyalgia can cause a surprising range of symptoms beyond just pain, and heightened sensitivity is a big part of why.
Here are some related symptoms that others with fibromyalgia commonly report:
- Itchy, watery, or dry eyes — sensory sensitivity is very common with fibromyalgia
- Blurry vision — can be linked to fibro fog and overall nervous system sensitivity
- Congestion and throat discomfort — some members report these regularly
- General sensitivity to light, sound, and temperature
One MyFibroTeam member shared that itchiness and eye discomfort can feel worse at night, possibly due to the body's temperature rising slightly in the evening, which can activate irritation receptors.
It's always worth mentioning these symptoms to your doctor, especially if they're new or getting worse. They can help rule out any triggers and adjust your management plan accordingly. You're not imagining it — fibromyalgia has a way of showing up in the most unexpected places! 💙
