Hi I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and have a lot of pain in my face. Does anybody experience this?

Is there anybody living in Holland?

    Although I don't have pain in my face, I do have it in my scalp. Fibro can cause the symptoms you described but so can TMJ. If you have any doubts, EVER, that what you're feeling is part of fibro, be assertive with your doctor. I've had fibro for over twenty years and I think that sometimes doctors write things off as part of fibro when they need a bit more investigation. 

    Best wishes in controlling your symptoms. Recently my doc put me on Cymbalta. It works great for me except it has disturbed my sleep. Always something!
