    • About Me

      I am a 46 year old mother of two. I am married, and my husband is a farmer. I have been a stay at home mom for the past 16 years, and love the fact that I can be with my kids most of the time. My favorite hobbies include refinishing furniture,and needlework. I haven't done a lot of either of these lately,but hopefully this will change.

      Hey- You're so lucky to be able to try lyrica, it helps lots of people, but gaining weight really sucks! My doc says it is from fluid retention. I could not get lyrica approved by medicare. Good luck to you. Hope you are able to benefit from lyrica. Hugs to you. Take care. Cheri

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in September 2004. I have been in pain since 1992, but the chiropractor and home remedies took care of most of it until it was just unbarable. I have been to 2 rheumatologist,and am currently going to a pain clinic to receive the meds to keep me going. I feel like all the people I tell about this think I am trying to get drugs. As if I don't feel bad enough for having to use them any way.... It seems to take more and more to control the pain.Where will it stop?

      Treatments

      Cyclobenzaprine Working / Worked
      Use at night. It helps me to sleep through the night. Works well.
      Oxycodone Somewhat Helpful
      Have been on 10mg three times daily.Keeps pain pretty even,but had a recent flare and it didn't take care of the pain.
