Sorry you're in so much pain. Yes, it might help to just go to bed,

with a heating pad, or something (or someone) comforting.

Applications of warm purring kitties may help.

There are times when I'm in pain like that, when I just kind of

wander from room to room, until I finally make myself get into a

nightgown and just go to bed. There's not much else to do.

The front moving through (and the rainrainrainrain) isn't helping.

I'm in considerable pain myself. :-/

Hope the pain subsides soon.

Do you happen to live in MN? We are still getting snow for pete's

sake. I am so tired of the weather changes also.

I so know what you are going through. I have been having the worst

few weeks of my fibro CAREER. Well I try to make light of it, lol.

But man, when will it give me/you everyone a break. It just wears a

person out.

Hoping that the Fibro beast will settle down a bit so that you aren't

in as much pain.

Hugs,

Deb in MN

the hot to cold all of the sudden.

hurting me worse. Just the prssure of a mattress was causing pain

and of course the poor quality of sleep I guess. I felt like someone

had beaten me all over and I was stiff and my righ shoulder and my

whole back felt like it had been attached to 50 lb weights all

night. The exhaustion is beyond belief. I feel like I have

a " virus " as others would think if they felt this way. No... it is

the fibro beast himself who has come to visit stronger than usual. I

do not know what the hell I would do if this was another work day.

Working is killing me. I cannot get disability because I cannot even

think of applying while still working. Yet, if I don't work, we will

be homeless and hungry while waiting for disability and all its red

tape.

Lyrica was one of the most awful things to happen to me. I felt dead

constantly... my husband woke me up in the middle of the night because

I was having such bad spasms that were so constant, he thought i was

having seizures.. i was so winded from taking a shower I had to take a

nap... and it didnt wear out of my system for almost a month after I

stopped taking it, during which time it made me worse, even pain wise.

I sincerely hope others find relief from it, but for me, I will always

consider it an evil drug

I'm sorry the Lyrica didn't work for you Suzanne. It has been a blessing for me.

I think I needed to have mine increased. The last two days I have felt really

good, despite the rainy yukky weather.
