RE: Vent: Lyrica/fibro commercial

[Guest guest]

As far as the Lyrica commercial is concerned - I don't think it delves into

fibro enough but at least there's one out there. However, I don't care for

that one either. I did see the other commercial that shows the woman with

her pain areas marked by a different color - but I had to look for it online

- haven't seen it on TV yet. That one at least was a little better

representation of getting the idea of fibro across.

Pfizer's Lyrica comercial. She is no good represention of a fibro

patient. Based on what I have read here, many of you most likely may be

overweight. Even I am bigger than that boney woman. How can she have a

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

Am interested in your opinions on this.

Hello,

I am glad they are trying to help us, though the commercial is a

little off base, and I would not try Lyrica anyway. But as for the

lady's weight, i dont really care. I'm big, so what? I still get

more looks than skinny women. Just like they say, " Just because

you're thinner than me doesnt mean you are prettier or more 'worth'

it. " Shoot, just last night i went to the local rock club and was

flirted with. Not that I care, even though the guys are rock stars.

I think it was the Lyrica that had me sleep walking and getting that black

eye and not knowing how I got it. It's too new, I don't feel there is

enough known about it.
