Fibromyalgia, Multiple sclerosis or an ear disorder?
Hi all,
I'm hoping somebody will answer me because I’m totally desperate for answers. Ok it started a while ago, like 3 months or more; I started to have anxiety attacks and then it turned into derealisation (the feeling of being detached from reality) I am now taking pristiq for my anxiety and that has seemed to go away but the feeling of derealisation is still there but not quite as bad. What I am really writing this for is about the same time 3 months I have been feeling unsteady/unstable/off balance and an unsteady gait while walking and I tend to sway when i stand still. I have had CT scans, MRI's, blood works and they're all appearing normal. I have had widespread pain, aches all over, tingling, twitching, wooziness, numbness, slight weakness, and constant balance problems. Do you think this could be fibromyalgia? I have looked up all the inner ear balance disorders and I don't match up to any about from having poor balance. I have looked up fibromyalgia and have a lot of the symptoms (most of them) but I don't have the stiffness in the morning. Please help! What is causing my balance problems (Not dizziness) Please do not get these mixed up<. Do I have MS, Fibromyalgia inner ear disorder...???? Please help! What do you think it is?
Thanks for all your answers, Im not sure if i get stiff in the morning...this may sound dumb but i'm not sure what feeling stiff would feel like? i do wake sometimes feeling sore like i have had a workout the night before but havent. define feeling stiff please?

Doesnt sound like m.s. at all...but you never know. If it's not in the MRI...I guess do a Lumpar Puncture...but it doesnt sound like m.s. so I dont think a doctor would order it because you think it's m.s.
However, I had experienced that derealisation...but not because m.s., but because a huge depression after being diagnosed with m.s.
M.S. is not psychological, m.s. is neurological.

I know that everyone here is trying to give the answer, but i think u need to get to the doctor to get checked out some more. For all the things that are going on it sounds more like MS only because I went through this too and they found out that I had MS a few moths back and not I take shots three times a week. Good luck and hope you feel better soon

While it is true that fibromyalgia could match many of your symptoms, so could MS and some other things, too. You would need to have a doctor diagnose what your problem is. If your doctor can't figure out what is wrong, ask to be refered to a specialist, most likely a neurologist.

Please see an ear nose and throat doctor. The balance problem and the symptom of being detached from your body could both be related to a middle ear disorder.
I have meniere's disease and fibromyalgia so am familiar with both problems.
If you aren't stiff in the morning you probably don't have fibromyalgia.
