Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Welcome . Nice to have you with us. I also am extremely overweight so would be hesitant with the Lyrica. Plus it would conflict with other meds I am on. Good luck with your accounting exam. I wanted to be an accountant right around the time I came crashing down with this FM monster. Now I don't think my brain could handle it. So you keep plugging away. Take care. Jeanne in WI Hi, My name is and I am new here, I ahve had fibro it seems like all my life. I am 52 yrs old. i ahve 3 loving daughters and my husband has 3 daughters and I ahve had 10 foster kids. This was until this horrible accident in my life I was hit by a drunk driver, he got nothing, I spent 15 years in bed that was in 1986. divorced, and left alone. I pulled my self out in 2003 with the help of my oldest daughter and the Lord, now I live day to day couting my blessings. I am in school ( yes at my age!!) I went back to college to get my degree. It is hard. especially right now it is exam week and the stress has me in a fibro flare up!! My exam in accounting is due by midnight Thursday. and I cannot think, I need to be in bed althought the pain right now is unbearable. well enough belly aching. Is anyone on the new fibro med I have heard about? I want to try it but i am extremly over weight and I read weight gain is a factor any advise, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
