So I am wondering if this is a major symptom for any of you?

I don’t really have tons of pain but I get constant pressure in my entire head. Sometimes its in my ears, sometimes its in my forehead, sometimes temples. I get strange feelings like water running down my scalp and tension in my jaw etc etc. It’s the one thing that is nearly constantly there. I also get these feelings in my body.. but the head thing is primary. I just wonder if this is fibro because I don’t tend to get the body pain like others...

    Omg. I had this so severe for 2 months. Just pressure, no pain. So bad I went to the ER , 3 neurologists, my primary and rheumatologist. Thought my head would xplode.  No Dr was at all helpful. 

    After research I took no flush niacin and it helped a lot, with Motrin for inflammation. Also started stretching neck muscles with specific yoga stretches and it’s gone. Comes back a bit at times and I repeat treatments. Hope that helps you

    I have Fibromyalgia and I get pressure in my head and neck areas but the one thing I absolutely dread is the water 💦 from the shower beading down on my head when I’m trying to shampoo it which extremely hurts. I can’t wait to get done with a shower but it takes me so long because of the pain and I have to be careful so I don’t fall. Unbelievable!!
