Re: Vent: Lyrica/fibro comercial-- NO, not a good representation

I agree. Not because of weight. But because it really does not do justice to

the description of this disease. It more displays it as a minor inconvenience

than the monster it really is. It does not address how severe the pain is, it

does not address the issue of memory and concentration, the stiffness so severe

we can hardly move, or the severe exhaustion. It makes it look more like a

" little pain " condition that can be taken care of with one pill. Makes it look

like a " one size fits all " solution. No mention of numbness, tingling, and

burning pain. No mention of the folks this disease leaves bedbound and

disabled.

No mention of the sleep disorder we have that makes us feel as if we have not

been to bed in weeks. WE NEED A COMMERCIAL that tells the whole story.

love and hugs,

lot of muscle pain when she doesn't show much muscle?

Am interested in your opinions on this.

I am thankful our disease is getting out there, but the lady does not

portray it the way it really is. Oh she gets me when she says " so tender to

the touch " " how about no one can touch me, I hurt so bad " Dumb.

Lets make our own I am with ya.

Hugs,
