In my case my fibromyalgia was diagnosed because I started to have hearing loss & vertigo. Had 2 hearing tests a yr apart & I only heard 1 note the 2nd time that I didn't hear the 1st time. My hearing loss was low level, not consistant with Meniere's. MRI came back that I didn't have MS. Had aches & pains that I just thought were normal cause I don't remember being any other way. Figured everyone has good day & bad days. So I never pushed the issue about them, But 2 yrs ago I got so dizzy I couldn't stand OR SIT. All of a sudden I could hear nothing out of my Left ear. Went to the ER & was told it was Meniere's. Followed up with my GP & he was going to leave it at that. I insisted I see a specialist cause it is not normal to just lose your hearing & have it start to slowly return. Plus everything out of that ear sounded weird, like people inhaled helium. The ENT ruled out Meniere's with hearing tests. Kept having dizzy spells & got sick of feeling nauseas & like a bobble head so I just kept going to the Dr wanting relief. Finally I moved & found a Dr who listened to ALL my complaints at one time & didn't look at me like I was crazy. I have now been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia & am in the process of getting Radio Pulse Therapy.
