Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 , Welcome to the fibro train and FaMily! Congrats on going back to school, regardless of your age! Remember it is just a number! You'll do fine on your exams. You know the stuff and it's in there in the fog....you'll find it when you need it! I am on the new Lyrica med. Not noticing any weight gain *but* I also have asthma and that tends to keep me puffy because of the 'roids I'm on. Ask questions and jump on in; we don't usually bite too much the first week or so! and remember, you can do this!

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Let me extend you a warm welcome to our little fibro family here on the net. I admire you for going back to school. That is awesome. Sorry to hear you are flaring. Alot of us are right now. I am taking 75 mg of Lyrica 3x day and have not had any weight issues from it. It has helped my foot pain alot. Not great for all around pain control though. I still need other meds for that. Hope your day is as pain-free as possible. Hugs, ddean228 wrote: , Welcome to the fibro train and FaMily!
