Just another day in the life of FM
Well, after thinking that Lyrica was going to be my saviour, now I'm not so sure Since Wednesday, things haven't got any better, and in fact worse. I am hoping the psych says I can increase them, but then again, if after only 2 weeks the benefit I thought I was feeling has stopped, maybe it's not worth it... I dunno, just feel confused and frustrated. I know frustration is not good for me, I need to release it. But everyday my pain has been getting worse. Thursday and Friday I ended up having to take pain meds at work to finish the day, which is the first time I've ever done that, but these days, they don't have the effect they used to so I guess it's not so bad.I've also started taking the Brufen again which I think helps a little, but I'm not sure. I just hate taking meds unless they make a significant difference.I'm cranky from pain and frustration. I woke up this morning and could hardly move, it felt like my back and rib cage had just frozen up while I was sleeping. It hurt to move or even breath, grrrrr.I feel a litle bit better since my shower, but my neck is throbbing and my welts are coming up on my wrists again and I feel groggy andman...... what a whinger lolSomebody stop me please!!!!!

That happened to me after I started my neurontin. It initially worked really well then it kind of wore off. I just needed to up the dose and it\'s working again. Keep on it, and ask your doc to up the dose. Hopefully that will work for you.
Im sorry to hear that about the Lyrica....I had almost the same response It worked great for like the first month then it stopped and I actually got more symptoms.....numbness tingling and memory issues.....
Have you tried any muscle relaxers? That is what Iam on now and seems to help a lot
I hope today is better
