Hi! I am sorry you are feeling bad. Fibro is an endless list of what will hurt us next.
A few months ago I had eye inflammation. I went to the eye doctor twice in a weeks time it was so bad. My eyes felt like they had sand in them and they were very puffy. I couldn't rub them because that made them hurt more.
I understand you dilemma. Put some Murine Tears in your eyes. That soothes them a bit but go to an eye doctor if it keeps up. I had special drops and a gel that I put in each day for about a week before they stopped hurting. As for the scalp, I have not had that yet so I can't comment on it.
I hope you feel better real soon.

Several months ago I had severe eye pain. I went to the opthalmologist and they said I had shingles in my eye. It was super painful. Several months later, I still get pain in my eye. It can be from stabbing/burning to achy. I also have trigeminal neuralgia, which may be causing this pain, I am told. I also deal with facial numbness on the side with the eye pain.

Make sure you see an eye doc to rule out inflammation of your optical nerve.

And the list does go on...

My scalp has hurt me since I can remember. My mother used to cut my hair when I was a little kid and I remember that everything she did just about killed me. I don't go to get haircuts anymore because of the strange way I am treated if I mention his pain. People do think I'm crazy, I think.

So I have let me hair grow long and periodically, I just lop off a big chunk. I care little anymore about how I look. This disease has taken pretty much everything from me.

My scalp hurts when there is muscle tightness . Massage it with your fingers you should be able to feel it if it is tight. When this happens to me I massage it several times a day until it improves.

Sorry you dealing with scalp and eye pain. Yes, we do have endless symptoms. My scalp sometimes hurts to the touch, but not so much otherwise. Now the eye pain, that is a different story. They ache very often. I describe it as my whole eyeball hurting. So do take the advice to see your eye doctor. Hopefully (but kind of sad to say) it is just your fibro and not anything more.

Fibromyalgia is an invisible, painful chronic illness syndrome full of complex and multiple symptoms from head to toe inside and out. It has taken me years to figure a lot of it out because doctors didn't explain it to me and each symptom was treated like it was entirely separate from the fibro. Then, when it was realized that these things were fibro related my doctor decided that any new health issue was just part of my fibro and I almost died from pneumonia complications! The only reason I went on disability is that my symptoms were severe and I was close to retirement age anyway. Life is painful but I have Fibromyalgia, Fibromyalgia doesn't have me. The key is self-care and learning to listen to what your body is telling you and also "balance" in you activity level. Oh yes, and the acceptance that life is not over now, just different but still worth the journey. We are all here to be supportive and share our pains and gains with one another, welcome. Sending hugs.

I have a 'whooshing'/pulsating sensation in my right ear ... had an MRI to see if it was due to a blocked carotid artery - all clear - went to my ear/throat specialist - have slight hearing loss - he also mentioned the occipital (sp?) nerve? anyone know anything about that? it's quite maddening! do have some right jaw pain at times
