Pain/fatigue/DRS

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Although I don't post often, I am always reading, trying to figure

out what to do about my Fibro. I recently moved to Phoenix and have

been waiting to see a Neurologist. I am hoping by the time I finally

go to my appt that I made 3 months ago that she can help me with the

pain. I am on 75 mg of lyrica and it has helped some, but I still

have a lot of nerve pain in my legs. It starts in my ankles (feels

like someone is sawing my ankles off) and continues up my legs to my

thighs. I have all of the trigger points.The last Regular Dr I saw

said she was sure that is what I have and then se put me on lyric and

Cymbalta 60mg (I started on 30mg and then she increased it). I also

have no appetite, but I am a nervous, bored, happy, sad eater so I

haven't lost any weight, (sob).

I had a nerve test done on my lower extremities and it showed no

pinched nerves so at least that was ruled out. I know what a pinched

nerved feels like and knew it was not that.

Anyway I will follow up with another post after I see the Neuologist

on the 13.

So glad you are all here for me because who can understand the pain

and fatigue better that fellow sufferers.

Hugs

HI,

75mg of Lyrica isnt very much. I started that low but my doc increased it to

450mb per day. You might ask about increasing it.

How long have you been on the Lyrica? I have heard that initially as your

body adjusts to it, you retain water and that causes the weight gain. Maybe

you could be put on a diuretic to help lose the extra water weight. I hope

that you feel better soon.

Love and gentle hugs,
