"I HAVE FIBROMYALGIA AND I WANT TO SUPPORT OTHERS WHO HAVE IT AS WELL." (runningwolf1)

MDJunction to me

"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (bunnyfly)

I just started taking Lyrica for my FMS has anyone tried this medication?
My name is Mary. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 10 years ago. After 10 yrs, I thought I was free from this painful disease. I recently had a flare up and it's taken me almost seven months to feel better. Fibrmyalgia has my attention now and I am searching for all the information I can get, which is why I joined this group. Thanks for being there

welcome mberry! I started Lyrica about 2 weeks ago. Had some trouble when I tried to increase it to twice a day so had to back off. I will try again soon.

There are actually other posts on here about Lyrica. You will find that regarding medications there are some people that have good experiences and some that have bad. Everyone's different. I hope that you have positive experience with the Lyrica.

There is a lot of information on this site about fibro. However, don't hesitate to ask us questions. This is a great support group and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

Hi I'm Angela and I have Fibro, I was diagnosed with it right after my daughter was born and she's a year and a half. It took me long hours at the Docters office to get a diagnosis. I've known I had something wrong with me for a long time, nobody could decide what it was. I just got started with the lyrkira, wrong spelling but the new drug for Fibro and I like it so far, I've noticed it makes me really tired. My normal meds are Methadone, 10/650 Vics, and Somas. I take three of each a day and now 3 of the L a day and so far so good except the tiredness, I don't really need any more of that. So I recomend anyone with Fibro to at least try it, it might work for you, you never know untill you try it.
