Can Fibromyalgia Cause Numbness In Brain?
Hi, I'm a 25yr old female and was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in May and currently taking Effexor XR 75mg. Lately, for the past month or 2 I've been dealing with a pain in my right side of my neck that goes up to my ear then temple then my right side of my head. Then minutes later I have this strange tingling/numbness on my right side of my brain. I get the numbess of the right side of my brain everyday throughout the entire day&feel like Ihave am earache&my right temple throbs hardto where it hurts. SHOULD I BE WORRIED OR IS IT APART OF MY FIBROMYALGIA?

You can not feel numbness of the brain. Probably what you want to say is the numbness on the side of the head.
This could either be a part of the fibromyalgia affecting neck region or cervical spondylitis.
Yes either way you need to worry and see a doc as either the fibromyalgia medicine needs altering or new problem needs to be attended to.
