Hi everyone. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Just went to the doc yesterday and they are starting me on Lyrica. I tried to handle it on my own and I don't know what I was thinking. I'm concerned about the weight gain, especially since I'm already fluffy. Has anyone had issues with gaining weight on this and do you have any tips for me so I don't gain?
Thanks :)
I mostly wanted to commiserate on worrying about weight issues. Before my fibro hit me hard, I worked to loose a lot of weight (over 70 lbs), and it causes me anxiety because I know fibro means I can't take up the regiment of exercise again should I gain a lot. I fluctuate now between periods of eating more junk food, and then periods of terrified calorie counting.
Hope the lyrica will help without the bad side effects!
