grr... insurance won't cover Lyrica

[Guest guest]

Grrr..... My insurance won't cover Lyrica for the diagnosis of Fibromyalgia.

but they will cover it if I have a different diagnosis. one that is on there

list which is stupid, cause the ones on there list is not general uses for

Lyrica.... I have to get a " special circumstance's " for them to cover it and

that can take up to two weeks.... Has anyone else had this problem... My doctor

is in fumes over this.... What can I do. I take Previcid for my stomach and I

can not use NSAID's for the pain... all I can do is deal with it.

,

i was actually given my first script of the lyria by a

neuro doctor that my rheumy doctor sent me to for the

migraines. this got my rheumy doctor to laugh as she

wanted them to do a headache work up before she

prescribed the lyrica.

so do you have migraines.

i have bc/bs and they have covered it so far.
