Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Barbara and group; Thanks Barbara for the kind words. My nails don't hurt very bad but yes it gets pretty sore. My fingers are bending up, right at the joints, so the nail can't grow right. I am not on the enbrel anymore and I hope to get back on it. Since I left the RA doc abruptly I ran out of the script. I think its the fibromyalgia hurts worse than the RA most of the time. The lyrcia for fibro cause me to gain 140 lbs. I ask the old RA doc I needed something elsse for the fibro. (Of course the RA hurts too). She insisted I take the lyrcia. I been off the lyrcia for 3 months and lost about 45 lbs so far. I am on a new drug for fibro called sevella. It's not working yet so maybe it needs time to get in my system. Like a lot of people I have my crying and moaning times of pain. About the finger and toe nails. Either they have to straighten out my fingers (and toes) or remove the nails permenently. They are awfull looking too. dark and brown coloration. I tape them up till they come off. (the tape will bring it off eventually) so not a lot of pain just some acheing pain. I just called my primary doctor and left a message that the kadian makes me sick 24/7 so I had to stop taking them so I can take my other important meds. Waiting for an answer now. Kadian is morphine with time release. My primary doctor gave me the sevella for fibro till I see my new RA doc. I noticed I can't send mail the old way to the group. Has it changed since I wrote?? I have always prayed for our group. My heart goes out reading how everyone is suffering. This is the 21 century. We should have help for this suffering. I can't understand how a doctor let us suffer when we have proof of this pain. I know those that have this agony would not abuse these pain meds by selling them giving them away. It just don't make any sence to me. God bless all and take care. Clora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Clora, I was put on the Sevella by my Primary doc when I thought I couldn't afford Lyrica and I took it for a good 3 weeks before going to Lyrica. I am sorry the Lyrica caused so much weight gain, I gained about 20 pounds but it really is the best one that I have tried. I also have fibro and RA and feel your pain. God Bless and good luck!
