I need to know if this is related to fibro, I was diagnosed with fibro about 6 months ago. Since then I have had some new symptoms like hand tremors, blurry vision & can sometimes feel very dizzy.

See a neurologist to rule out anything serious just in case.

I get had tremors, blurred vision, and dizzy spells too. I saw a neurologist, eye doctor and ENT to be safe.

what was the outcome with the neurolgist? I don't want to overreact, they have already ruled out lupus. Soooo very tired all the time, all i wanna do is sleep.

Mine diagnosed benign familia tremors. I inherited it from my father's side of the family.
Dizziness from flares from lupus.
Vision-not sure.

You may need a MRI to rule out something more serious. My neurologist thought I had MS at first.

I have the tremors, too. In fact, I just took a video of it! I stirred cookie mix.... ya know, mixing in the flour? Now, of course, I'm trembling. I was coming here to see if I could post it somehow and compare notes! :) I have been told this is part of fibro...

Seems so, so very weird though.

I as well have tremors and dizziness at times. It's very scary! I see a neurologist next wk. I'm anxious for some answers. I take an anti anxiety med to calm my nerves so that helps with feeling shaky and dizzy.

I would 't worry too much. I use to have lots of tremors and visual problems. I am on a low dose of dilantin and it seem to stop the tremors and jerks I would get in my brain. The blurred vision can be frequent at times. It's sometimes enough to scare you. I guess I just learned to accept those crazy symptoms. I don't get the dizzy spells. I do know meds can cause some dizzy spells.

I have all of the above too and I think it may be fibro-related. But I don't know for sure, it's probably something to be looked into more. I haven't seen a neurologist, but I have told my eye doctor about it, and it is not related to my eyes, apparently.

I saw my doctor Friday, he has reduced my dosage of cymbalta to see if that is the cause of the tremors & dizziness. A little scared to reduce the meds for fear of the pain. If the sympatoms continue, he will then send me to a neurologist.

Very possible it's the Cymbalta it can cause so many different side effects in people. If you do a search for side effects you can see not all sites list all the same side effects even and if you read message boards where people post, they will have other side effects possibly not listed any place. Not a big concern though because we are all chemically made up different so how we react to medications is different too. We just need to try and stay in tune to what are mind and body might be telling us.
Hopefully you will notice a difference soon and that will take care of it.
I would see about getting samples and coupons from the doctor while doing the medication merry-go-round some of us have to go through to find what works for us. Never hurts to save money where we can.
I use this site a lot for side effects. They have a couple good generic pages on samples and coupons I will give you the link for samples - http://www.pharmacydrugguide.com/Free_Drug_Samples
you can do a search for drug coupons in the upper right for the generic page information or you can also do a specific medication to see if they have info on it. I did one for Cymbalta coupons - http://www.pharmacydrugguide.com/Cymbalta_Coupons
I have had doctors who are really good about having you try something with a sample or giving a coupon to to help cut the cost while you are.
