Guest guest Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I was recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and the beginnings of Rheumatoid Arthritis. I'm only 39, but I have been asking Dr.'s for several years, why am I so tired? Why do I feel like I worked out when only doing minimal stuff? Why does my neck and back always hurt? Why am I swelling? I felt like a 90 year old wrapped up in a younger person. I switched family doctors and found one that is smart, and listens to the patient. He referred me to a Rheumatologist. The Rheumatologist I went to wanted me to start on Lyrica, 150 mg 1xday, then 2xday after 2 weeks. I'm on day 8, and so far nothing. I haven't had much dizziness or problems with my vision, which are the common side effects. I guess it takes around 300mg a day before any pain relief is experienced. Has anyone tried it? Has anyone had any pain relief from Lyrica? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
