what is the medical term for myalgia in the eyes.... I'm not looking for info on fibromyalgia?
610050
The term for eye pain is ophthalmodynia but I don't know about pain in the musculature. Perhaps extraocular myalgia.  I suggest a search on eye disorders.  It might turn up something or (I hope) another respondant will have your answer.

Itching is the cardinal sign of eye allergies.  The ER is an okay option, but I would suggest making an appointment with an optometrist or ophthalmologist.  If you explain the situation, they will be able to get you an immediate appointment (if necessary).

It is called: Fibromyalgia!\n\nFibromyalgia (FM or FMS) is a debilitating chronic syndrome (constellation of signs and symptoms) characterized by diffuse and or specific muscle, joint, or bone pain, fatigue, and a wide range of other symptoms.
526272
Fibromyalgia is a commonly encountered disorder characterized by chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain, stiffness, paresthesia, disturbed sleep, and easy fatigability along with multiple painful tender points.\n\nSymptoms are generalized musculoskeletal aching and stiffness and fatigue. Patients may complain of low back pain, which may radiate into the buttocks and legs. Others complain of pain and tightness in the neck and across the upper posterior shoulders. Patients complain of muscle pain after even mild exertion and some degree of pain is always present. The pain has been described as a burning or gnawing pain or as soreness, stiffness, or aching. Pain may begin in one region, such as the shoulders, neck, or lower back before it eventually becomes widespread. Patients may complain of joint pain and perceive that their joints are swollen; however, joint examination yields normal findings. Stiffness is usually present on arising in the morning; usually it improves during the day, but in some patients it lasts all day. Patients may complain of numbness of their hands and feet. They may also feel colder overall than others in the home, and some may experience Raynaud's-like phenomena or actual Raynaud's phenomenon. Patients complain of feeling fatigued and exhausted and wake up tired. They also awaken frequently at night and have trouble falling back to sleep. Patients may experience cognitive impairment with difficulty thinking and loss of short-term memory. Headaches, including migraine type, are also common symptons. Others experience episodes of light-headedness, dizziness, anxiety, or depression. Symptoms are made worse by stress or anxiety, cold, damp weather, and overexertion. Patients often feel better during warmer weather and vacations.

I was diagnosed with it when I was in my 20's...over 20yrs ago!  It is a relatively new diagnosis and doctors are just now beginning to understand just how debilitating it can be... make sure you trust your doctor as it is not an easy diagnosis to make and there are alot of other illnesses out there that have symptoms very similar to fibromyalgia!  My sister swears by herbs to help hers.... I swear by pain meds and rest.... guess it all just depends on a persons point of view and just how bad a day that person is having!

DEPRESSED. All joking aside, I believe you can type "Medical Terminology" in the Yahoo Search bar. Medical Dictionaries have a word (or more) for every condition and everything.

Hi, \nI was diagnosed with fibromyalgia five years ago.  Even though The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) has developed criteria for fibromyalgia that physicians can use in diagnosing the disorder, it is not "technically speaking" arthritis.\n\nThere are more  physicians all the time that are beginning to recognize the disorder, but most are still flying blind.  This DOES NOT mean that there are  not treatments!  Because there are!!!\n\nYou must educate yourself about the disorder and research methods that have worked for others.\n\nI have an extremely aggressive form of the disorder, my Dr. was trained at the Mayo Clinic and specializes in the disorder.  She says I have fibro from hell, but that doesn't mean I don't have a quality of life.  I've had to change alot of things.  But, I do not use any type of narcotic pain medication to deal with the pain associated with this illness.\n\nI changed my diet.  I eat organically.  Drink tons of pure water.  I exercise; ( low impact stuff. Yoga, Thai Che, stretching, walking).   \n\nI use lidoderm patches, ( Lidocaine patch 5%).  Take robaxin, which is a skeletal muscular relaxer, it does non mind or mood altering drug like flexaril.\n\nGetting restorative sleep is important.  I use melatonin.\n\nI would love to talk more with you on this and am here for you if you want to talk.  My name is Pam\nMy email address is jzett@sbcglobal.net

Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a neurological disorder of hypersensitization - it definitely is NOT caused by depression. Joint pain would be arthritis, or a related condition :-)\n\nBecause there isn't one test that says, "Hey, you definitely have fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS)!" the diagnostic process can be pretty long.\n\nIf you've experienced pain in all four quadrants (above your waist on the right side, above your waist on the left side, below your waist on the left side, and below your waist on the right side) for more than three months (some doctors insist on six), and you've tested negative for everything else that would explain full-body pain (arthritis, scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, lupus, lyme disease, ankylosing spondylitis, multiple sclerosis, etc.), a rheumatologist should do a tender point examination. \n\nNo more than 4kg/1.54km2 of pressure is applied to 18 specific points on your body (don't confuse these with trigger points, which are different). That's a very little bit of pressure - if you push your finger against something, just as the skin under your nail starts to change color, it's a little less than that much pressure. That's how it was explained to me.\n\nSomeone who has fibromyalgia will experience significant pain in at least 11 of the 18 points. (There's some controversy on that at the moment, because symptoms can vary from day to day, but that's the official criteria right now as established by the American College of Rheumatology.) I felt like screaming with all 18. \n\nThere are people who say, "Oh, I think I have fibromyalgia!" just like there are plenty of people who walk around claiming to have chronic fatigue syndrome or who say they have "allergies" to everything under the sun when they really mean they don't like your perfume. Unless someone has been officially diagnosed by a rheumatologist, AFTER having everything else ruled out, call bullshit on any claims to having fibromyalgia. It's too often used as an by hypochondriacs.\n\nUnfortunately it's also used as a "wastebasket" diagnosis by doctors who are too lazy to find out what a patient's real problems are. Fibromyalgia is considered incurable, so it's easy to say, "Oh, you've got FMS, nothing I can do for you, get used to it." If you run in to that kind of doctor, fire him!\n\nThat kind of nonsense makes it very hard to get fibromyalgia, which IS very real, taken seriously. I speak as someone diagnosed with it in 1993. My daughter was diagnosed in 1999 (she's just 16 now). It's a nasty thing, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. If you have it, there are plenty of things you can do to improve your life. I've made it one of my missions in life to share what I've learned about it with others :-)\n\nOn the depression issue: People who have fibromyalgia often feel depressed, but that's understandable considering the symptoms we live with :-)\n\nAs for whether or not being depressed can cause a fibromyalgia flare - well, any stressor can make fibromyalgia symptoms worse. Most depressed people don't take care of themselves as well as they would otherwise, and studies have established that depression causes us to perceive any kind of irritant as more annoying than it would be otherwise. So the fibromyalgia is going to get to you more when you're depressed, and being depressed is going to make you less likely to take good care of yourself to alleviate your fibromyalgia symptoms. It's a pretty nasty feedback loop.\n\nI wish you luck in dealing with fibromyalgia and/or depression, if you or someone you care about are. Please let us know how you're doing.

It is a stye.  There are two types of styes.  They are internal and external styes also called hordeolum.  The external stye is the common type that people see along the follicle.  The internal type is less common that the external but still can be common, is found further back from the follicles.  The treatment is typically conservative.  DO NOT TAKE THE ADVICE OF SOME OF THESE PEOPLE ON HERE....DO NOT POP IT!!!  Simple warm wet compresses to the area for 20 min at a time 4-6 times a day will help to get rid of it.  Also some tylenol will help for the pain.  However, if it starts feeling like it is scratching the eye itself or if your vision starts to change then it would be a very good idea to go ahead and see your doctor.  Take care!

I have had Fibro since I was 16, actually 20 years now. It does sound like you have some of the symptoms. I am also wondering if you may have Rhuematiod Arthritis because of the joint involvement. Your headaches may actually be Cluster Headaches if they continue to reoccur frequently and you have a sharp pain around one eye. My clusters usually sit in the back of my head until a spike hits me in the eye (what it feels like). Also, these conditions can co-exist (you can have them both). I don't believe I have ever taken Accutane.\nFibromyalgia associated syndromes\n\nIt is not unusual for fibromyalgia patients to have an array of bodily complaints other than musculoskeletal pain. It is now thought that these symptoms are a result of the abnormal sensory processing – as described in the previous section. Recognition and treatment of these associated problems are important in the overall management of your fibromyalgia. \n\nNon-restorative sleep\nCognitive dysfunction\nChronic fatigue\nCold intolerance\nRestless leg syndrome\nMultiple sensitivities\nIrritable bowel syndrome\nDizziness\nIrritable bladder syndrome\nNeurally mediated hypotension\n\n1. Chronic fatigue: The common treatable cause of chronic fatigue in fibromyalgia patients are: (1) inappropriate dosing of medications (TCAs, drugs with antihistamine actions, benzodiazapines etc.), (2) depression, (3) aerobic deconditioning, (3) a primary sleep disorder (e.g. sleep apnea), (4) non-restorative sleep (see above) and (5) neurally mediated hypotension (see below). A new drug called Provigil is of some help when used intermittently for management of fatigue.\n\n2. Restless leg syndrome: This strictly refers to daytime (usually maximal in the evening) symptoms of (1) unusual sensations in the lower limbs (but can occur in arms or even scalp) that are often described as paresthesia (numbness, tingling, itching, muscle crawling) and (2) a restlessness, in that stretching or walking eases the sensory symptoms. This daytime symptomatology is nearly always accompanied by a sleep disorder - now referred to as periodic limb movement disorder (formerly nocturnal myoclonus). Treatment is simple and very effective – DOPA / Levodopa (Sinemet) in an early evening dose of 10/100 (a minority require a higher dose or use of the long acting preparations).\n\n3. Irritable bowel syndrome: This common syndrome of GI distress that occurs in about 20% of the general population is found in about 60% of fibromyalgia patients. The symptoms are those of abdominal pain, distension with an altered bowel habit (constipation, diarrhea or an alternating disturbance). Typically the abdominal discomfort is improved by bowel evacuation. Due to abnormal sensory processing these symptoms may be quite distressing to fibromyalgia patients. Treatment involves (1) elimination of foods that aggravate symptoms, (2) minimizing psychological distress, (3) adhering to basic rules for maintaining a regular bowel habit, (4) prescribing medications for specific symptoms; constipation (stool softener, fiber supplementation and gentle laxatives such as bisacodyl), diarrhea (loperamide or diphenoxylate) and antispasmodics (dicyclomine or anticholinergic / sedative preparations such as Donnatal).\n\n4. Irritable bladder syndrome: This is found in 40-60% of fibromyalgia patients. The initial incorrect diagnoses are usually recurrent urinary tract infections, interstitial cystitis or a gynecological condition. Once these possibilities have been ruled out a diagnosis of irritable bladder syndrome (also called female urethal syndrome) should be considered. The typical symptoms are those of suprapubic discomfort with an urgency to void, often accompanied by frequency and dysuria. In a sub-population of fibromyalgia patients this is related to a myofascial trigger point in the pubic insertion of the rectus abdominus muscles – and may be helped by a procaine myofascial trigger point injection). Treatment: involves (1) incr

I heard before that an anti depressant works very well with fibromyalgia.  It wouldn't hurt to try one. If you havent already.  Maybe get into a meditation class or a fitness class.  Keep yourself moving.  I myself don't believe that fibromyalgia exists until I had unexplained pain for quite some time.  It wasnt fibromyalgia but I do now believe it does cuz it took so long for the doctors to figure out what was wrong with me.  Good luck

Fibromyalgia is a syndrom with symptoms of all over pain, fatigue, irritable bowel, mood shifts, and more.  \n\nIt does not go away.  It is made worse by stress and environmental factors.\n\nYou may email me if you would like more info.

I am disabled from fibromyalgia and I wear a morphine patch that I change every three days plus my doctor gives me Lortab for breakthrough pain.  Still have pain but it is tolerable for now.  Will still have flare ups and don't know why.  This disease has changed my whole life and I have felt like an 80-year-old woman since I was 40.  I've gained weight, sit bored on this computer most of the time, try to keep my home clean, and my husband helps me with nothing.  \n\nGood luck.  Most physicians are going back to the old beliefs about myofacial pain (fibro).  And that is that it is psychosomatic and people that have it are hypochondriacs.  \n\nI have been offered to take two different programs and the first thing they all say is, "NO MEDS" or you cannot participate.  The pamphlets say things like, "MIND OVER MATTER."  \n\nObviously health care providers cannot explain this disease; however, they know their patient's are having pain but cannot find out what is causing it.  \n\nMy doc seems to believe it is caused by a virus.  Another answer health care providers give for any illness they cannot explain.
