    Intimidated by Lyrica

    Okay, I posted this in December. It's now April. I had to stop the Lyrica after 2 weeks. I felt really good on it, but I started getting stomach aches that got progressively worse until I was forced to quit. That ended up being a good thing because I quickly noticed a ringing in my ears, too. It...

    Intimidated by Lyrica

    I do wonder if I'm making a mistake in taking it. I'm experiencing mild stomach aches, and a weird cricket sound in my ears, which I read is not unheard of. I, too, am not a fan of medications, and my fibro pain came and went and was never debilitating, just crummy. I feel very overwhelmed by...

    For those of you with family members that have been diagnosed

    I can relate. My mom wasn't diagnosed with all of her auto-immune garbage until relatively recently, her late 50's, early 60's. But she was never the mom that other kids had when we were growing up. Her depression was out of control and, truth be told, it messed up both my brother and me. She...

    Intimidated by Lyrica

    Morning, folks. I'm on my 6th day of Lyrica. In the starter pack you start with 50mg and go up to 75. Of course the first two days I was stoned off my arse, but now I feel pretty good. The body aches are gone. I actually did several loads of laundry, baked banana bread, cleaned up the kitchen...

    New, and Ow.

    Thanks, everyone. Nice to be among friends. And I like this spoon theory! I'll have to Google it. I'm always up front with my doctor. It's the super healthy, fit friends who never understand that I'm not quite honest with. Just easier than seeing that look on their faces. Also, insomnia...

    New, and Ow.

    Good morning folks. Although I'm officially just starting this fibromyalgia journey, of course I've been on it for years. It started right after my first son was born 7.5 years ago. Back pain, neck pain, headaches, insomnia, depression....you all know the rest. Massages and physical therapy and...

    Negative to the pressure point test, but 4 doctors still suspect I have fibro

    My sons are also 3 1/2 and 7 1/2. It's very hard to hear them say, "Mommy, does your neck *still* hurt? Why are you sick so much?" Sometimes they put out pillows for me on the couch and pat my head. I feel like crap about it. Anyway, I don't have all of the pressure points either, but any and...
