Ringing in ears
Since I have been living with FMS and migraines for years and doing as much research as I can, a friend who also has FMS asked me about ringing in her ears. I have never come across any information about this. Anything you can tell me would be much appreciated and I will pass it on to her since she doesn't use the internet. Thank you.
Hi Sue,
The ringing in the ears is called Tinnitus. It can be a side effect of medications (check what you are taking) or for me, it can also be a sign that a migraine is on the way. It could also mean a number of many other things, depending on other symptoms you may have.
It may be a good idea to bring this up to your doctor if the tinnitus is constant.

Hi Sue,
There is also a condition called Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH), formerly called PTC, which includes tinnitus as a symptom. Other symptoms include headache which is not relieved by medication, neck pain, nausea, hearing loss and vision problems. We have more information on that HERE.
Good luck
Nancy
