Chronic Fatigue

Chronic fatigue is a symptom that occurs less commonly with arachnoiditis, but if paired with other symptoms of the condition, it can be an important warning sign to look out for. Many illnesses can cause chronic fatigue in addition to arachnoiditis. One is chronic fatigue syndrome, where chronic fatigue is the main component. Fibromyalgia can also cause this symptom in addition to aching throughout the body.

With chronic fatigue, affected individuals will feel tired and lethargic even if they have gotten enough sleep. They may feel like they need more sleep or frequent naps to function. Their brain might feel 'foggy,' and their cognitive processing may be slower. These symptoms must last for several weeks to be considered chronic.

Hearing Changes

One of the common signs of arachnoiditis is hearing changes, which may be accompanied by ringing in the ears. There are a variety of potential problems that might occur with an arachnoiditis patient's hearing. They may have trouble hearing certain pitches of sounds, certain types of consonants, or hearing in general. They might also feel like their ears are plugged. Changes in hearing occur because cerebrospinal fluid circulation has been impeded and altered by fibrosis, scar tissue, and clumped roots of nerves.

If an individual is experiencing problems with their hearing, they should see an audiologist. If they're related to arachnoiditis, it's important to diagnose the condition as soon as possible. Even if unrelated to arachnoiditis, however, many hearing issues can be treated and improved through assistive devices like hearing aids.
