sorry about the pain, the eye thing, from what i have read, can be fromt he fibro. however, i just went to the dr. and yes in deed, i am getting old and had to have a stronger prescription :)

I think it could be the fibro? I get that quite a bit; trouble focusing & just a weird feeling that is hard to describe goes hand in hand with the fuzzy head feeling where you can't concentrate (or string two words tegether at times)

It definately could be the fibro. My optometrisis explain that if the other muscles in your body get tired and weak it only stands to reason that the eye muscles would be weak too!

i have problem with my eyes and my eye dr said it was the fibro...if the meds you are on has no side effects to the eyes chances are its the fibro...hug

my eyes often are blurred and hurt or seem just kinda off. i just got new glasses and seem a little better but i have days still where things blur. i think the fm messes with our eyes too

My eyesight goes wacky many days. I think it is a combination of the fibro and the meds. I also find that a long morning on the computer makes my eyes more blurry!

Glad to know its not just me. I'm seeing a neurologist on Tuesday. I'm going to mention this to him as i believe this is a part of the neurological part of Fibromyalgia.

Sarah,

Im not saying it is the lyrica but when I was on Lyrica I had terrible vision symptoms as well as many other symptoms. I didnt notice so much the focusing as I did the brightness. Everything was so intense I felt like I needed to wear sunglass all the time.

Well it could be fibro, that's certainly a symptom, it could be Lyrica cos that can be a side effect, and I guess it could be getting older, and probably is cos you spent a lot of time on the computer, so take your pick..... not sure about prozac, haven't used it.

Hey! Someone else out there has the same problem I do...what do ya know. I thought I was craackin up!Man my eyes have just crazy and Ive been hearing that the fibro affects your eye sight along with meds but I didn't really believe it until now cause I'm not the only one. I go to the eye dr tomorrow so I guess I'll find out. good luck you guys. we're not alone.
