Guest guest Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Suzy, I take high doses of Magnesium w/malic acid. I also take Omega 3's and 6's (Flaxseed Oil) and this has made a huge difference with stifness and fatigue. Of course, nothing is a " cure " but it does help a little. And every little bit helps. I took Lyrica too and gained 10 pounds. I got off of it and started having severe foot pain, what I think is neuropathy. Long story short, I ended up getting back on it because it does help the pain but am not going to stay on it indefinitely. I can't stand the extra weight, it just exacerbates all the other problems I have. Topamax is suppose to foster weight loss, but not in everyone. Good luck and welcome to the group, Caitlin suzanne wrote: Hi, I'm a new member. I suffer from pudendal neuralgia, fibromyalgia and lower back pain (had a microdiscection for a ruptured disc in Dec of '04). I'm 33. I take Lyrica and it does help w/ all my pain a good bit. I did gain a little bit of weight when I started it. I wish they'd come out w/ a nerve pain med that HELPED you lose weight! . __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
