Debra B - I would get a 2nd opinion on the Lyrica if I were you. You sound like

you cannot continue with things the way they are. I will pray for you. Take

care.

I am so glad someone has spoken up about that woman!! I hate seeing that

commerical because it doesn't represent the real fibro patient! Since I was

diagnosed with Fibro in Sept 07 and placed on this so called Fibro pill I have

put on 85lbs! YES 85LBS!!!!! Yeah, I have other issues like a herniated disc and

have also been injected with steriods since October and I know that has some to

do with my weight gain, BUT I have yet to find my " sweet spot " for Lyrica.

Here's the deal! I gain weight I am increased on my Lyrica cause I am told due

to my weight I am not at a good dose. So, let's increase the dosage, I gain more

weight and here I am. Pain all over my body, I don't like getting out anymore. I

am becoming a horrible person. I am in pain everyday on a scale from 1-10

anywhere from 8-10 for me every single day. If it's not the fibro it's my back.

My entire body goes into twitches when I am trying to relax to go to sleep and

even sometimes during the day

just sitting. I don't shower unless someone is home with me because I am

afraid I will fall in the shower. IT'S HORRIBLE!!! Get that skinny lady off the

Lyrica commerical and put some of us on there! ha!! I feel as if I am in a

twister and no one will let me out!!

Debra,

Why are you still on this medication? Get another opinion. The wt. Gain is

probably worse for your body.There are other pain meds. Jodi
