Hi, Flutterby here. I live near St. Louis in the midwest. I was diagnosed with Fibro 1998-I think, Many years have past. I started Lyrica--my first real focused treatment for my Fibro on April 9. I have been doing very well on it. I also have Recurrent Major Depression, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety and Panic Attacks. The last 16 months I hit the lowest point with health problems since recovering from a hysterectomy for Endometriosis. It is a long story, but in the end it took two medical school clinical doctors in ENT and Neurology to see the whole picture and finally diagnose me with untreated Fibromyalgia and Migraines. I have been doing so well on the Lyrica that I did way to many activities last week forgetting my body needs to go much slower to recover from everything that happened since January '07. Resting this weekend and hope the exhaustion recedes. Looking forward to meeting people here and learning more about living with Fibromyalgia while being treated with Lyrica. Thank you so much, Flutterby My physical goal is to hike and rappell again. |
