Saw my primary Doctor yesterday.We went over my bloodwork and he said my Lyme is gone becouse the 41kda was the only thing that came back positive.He did say the lyme test on october 5 2007 was positive lyme.The second test I had on November 16,2007 which I believe I was still on antibiotics.Well we all know how reliable these tests can be.I am going to see a LLD in town and also a rumatolagist. He said I have a unexplained connective tissue disorder. I also have to go back to my hematolagist becouse of high immunaglobulins.Has anyone else had problems with high Immunaglobins? He was very nice and gave me copies of all my bloodwork.

Any input about this is appreciated,

I did gain weight while on it, about 8 pounds in 2 months. Plus my hands and feet held water.

I just started lyrica not too long ago, I swear I've put on 5 poundsw in a week!!! I was researching the medication and all I could get with user comments was stuff on weight gain! nobody said if it helped or not. So far it hasn't helped me one bit...think I will stop it. I had such high hopes, because I do think I might have lyme induced fibro. what these ducks never hear me say is thatit's NOT MUSCLE PAIN it's in my bones and joints and nerves. aaaahhhhhh. It's amazing all the health issues in this country. I was watching "Sicko" and other countries aren't as sick as we are.

I am doing Weight watchers online. I posted a message today about Lyrica and weight gain. They said if you exercise along with it(Which I know is not a easy thing for us) you can maintain or loose.I'm sorry you feeled like you have gained already Hon

But maybe you should give it a little while longer.In the information I was given it said it might take over a week to feel the Benifits.I just talked to my pharmacist He faxed over info about my insurance not paying for it to my primaryDoctor.Ya right that will take about a month for them to get on the ball Do you think it is more of a bloat feeling.I did hear it can make you retain water.You are right about the health care in this country It is crazy.I got my sister Sicko for Christmas .She wanted it.I'll have to rent it.GENTLE HUGS,Jean

Someone correct me on this if im wrong. Anyways hope this helps...
