Hello everyone, My name is Adela and I am from Washington State. I am

a home school mom of two boys (13-15). and step mom to two older girls

(22-21) and thank you for letting me into your group.

I just read all the files that was sent to me. I haven't gotten into

the bio's yet, but I will soon. I just saw my GP doctor last week who

chatted with the neurologist and the Pain specialist. (I guess they

had a conference) and decided that I had either fibromyalgia or nerve

pain of some sort. they gave me Celebrex, Trazadone, and Lyrica. I

haven't tried the Lyrica yet I am suppose to give the Celebrex a week

then start the Lyrica. does anyone here take the Lyrica? What can I

expect from it? any side affects? does it work to help with the pain?

numbness? sleep? I look forward to getting to know each and everyone

of you. I belong to many groups and have email filters so that my

inbox will no bounce. I hope to get help and to give it when I can. TTFN

1. While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as

to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some

treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain

health conditions or just dangerous in general.

2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be

afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation

better.

3. To unsubscribe the e-mail is:

4. Also, it is not uncommon for more than one member to be feeling bad at the

same time when it comes to flares and b/c of that potentially take something

another member says the wrong way. And that includes the things that one member

may find funny (even if it's laughing at fibro itself) even though we who deal

with illness whether one such as fibro or multiple illnesses try to keep a sense

of humor.

5. Pls let's be gentle with each other, and if you are having a bad day pls let

us know so that we can do our best to offer our support.

Have a nice day everyone.
