Suggest Treatment For Vertigo While Suffering From Fibromyalgia
Question: i would like to add some info to my first question concerning the vertigo if thats possible. i have fibromyalgia and degenerative joints in my legs hands arms. And degenerative discs in my spine plus a couple differenttypes of arthritis. it had been discussed that the vertigo is one of many results of the fibro. my pain specialist had me go to a neurologist because he thought i had neauropothy. anyway the one thing I didnt have going on was a ear ache of anykind.Although i had a hole punched into my eardrum many years ago in the 70s. however this time around i started with anearache more itchy than painful. right ear. a couple weeks later theright nostril in my nose swelled closed. then soon after that started my right jaw areaswelled like if i had an absessedtooth. except that i dont have anyreal teeth left. so i figureit has to do with some bad ass infection inthe right sideof my sinuses or something.
Brief Answer:
Vertigo
Detailed Answer:
Hi
muscle and joint disorders can cause imbalance like tendency to fall or inability to walk up or downstairs but symptoms like nausea and spinning of head while still in a resting position is due to involvement of inner ear or cerebellar disease.
earache can be due to any ear infection or wax or Temporomandibular joint disorder. The swelling in half of face is probably an infection. My advice is you should get yourself examined by an ENT SPECIALIST because examination is required to reach any diagnosis.
Please tell me what medicines have u been taking so far and what investigations you have undergone?
This information will help me to suggest you better.
Thanks and regards
