grr....Insurance....nice not being alone :)

[Guest guest]

Right now I have a 10 day free sample. If it works out then I can fight the

insurance co. If it doesn't work for me, then I won't bother. And my doctor will

try something else. LOL I have another appointment next week to see her. So

far so good no side affects to speak of but it has only been two days. I don't

think it is helping the pain a whole lot. I am suppose to up the dose tonight. I

will try to keep you guys posted.... I have been here for a short time and you

all treat me like family.... It is nice not being alone.

Re: grr... insurance won't cover Lyrica

Oh my goodness! Why are the ads saying that is specifically for FM

then?

That is ridiculous. These darn insurance companies and their stupid rules.

I sure hope it gets worked out and that your doctor will give you something

else for pain in the meantime. Have you ever tried tramadol(Ultram) ?
