Welcome to the group Amy! I was diagnosed 3 weeks ago. I was lucky to be

diagnosed the first time I went to the doctor with aching pain. And it was a

wonderful NP who diagnosed me. I hear all the stories of going doctor to doctor

and being told it is all in the head. I love my NP!! She gave me Lyrica and I am

now in very little pain. I know it will get worse and no longer work on the dose

I am on but for now I feel wonderful. Try the Lyrica and you can always stop if

you cant handle it. Just dont stop too soon because the side affects dont last

more than a week or two. We are here for you. Theresa in Tn

Fibromylagia

today. I have been in severe pain for 3 years after a bad car accident.

I went to 7 different specialists, and no one could help my pain or

tell me what was wrong until today. I thought it was back problems &

maybe I needed surgery or something. The dr told me that I have

Fibromyalgia. I am just very upset & was a very very active person &

was kicked out of the military. I am only 28. I feel like now that I

was basically told that I will be living in pain the rest of my life.

I always have felt weird about complaining or talking about my pain. I

felt like everyone always thinks that I'm just being a baby. It has

kept me from doing so many of the things that I love for 3 years now. I

am also very skeptical about taking the Lyrica. I just don't handle

medications so well.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Best wishes and peace to all my friends & family!
