Re: Lyrica,Lyrica,Lyrica----Hype,Hype,Hype ! ! !

[Guest guest]

I've only been on lyrica for 4 weeks, and I really haven't noticed any

improvement. And I'm wondering what the difference is between lyrica and

gabapentin/neurontin. Both seizure meds, but lyrica is way more expensive

co-pay for me. I'm wondering too what's up?

increase. Something's not right here??? If it stops working like it did

in the beginning evry increase couldn't this be a sign of some kind?

The miracle is long gone!!! What do Drs. think? Oh let's just up thier

Lyrica and maybe they'll shut up! And Trigger point injections lasted a

week for me. I wake up at 2:00 A.M. in pain. My pain is now 24/7 and

I'm pissed! I get 4 Darvacet per day and 2 Hydrocodone per day but I

wake up in pain in the early A.M. and upon getting out of bed which is

5:30 to 6:30 A.M. everyday. Whatz up?

1. While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as

to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some

treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain

health conditions or just dangerous in general.

2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be

afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation

better.

3. To unsubscribe the e-mail is:

Fibromyalgia_Support_Group-unsubscribe

4. Also, it is not uncommon for more than one member to be feeling bad at the

same time when it comes to flares and b/c of that potentially take something

another member says the wrong way. And that includes the things that one member

may find funny (even if it's laughing at fibro itself) even though we who deal

with illness whether one such as fibro or multiple illnesses try to keep a sense

of humor.

5. Pls let's be gentle with each other, and if you are having a bad day pls let

us know so that we can do our best to offer our support.

Have a nice day everyone.

That is scary, I was just put on Lyrica. I hope they aren;t planning to do the

same to me. I am in the beginning stages of Fibro. I don't take anything harsh

on a daily basis yet. I may need to start. Most of my major pain is in my neck

shoulder and headaches
