I've just started Lyrica (pregabalin), is anyone else on this or tried it in the past?

Hi all a while since i posted on here.
Pain is just as bad, memory is terrible lol
My back is the worst at the moment cant stand for long.............BP was up and inflammatory markers on the ceiling.
No folic acid he said ????? where has that gone.
I must admit i get frightened to try tablets, cant take tramadol, it makes me ill.
Oh well a lot of people much worse off.
Hope you are all keeping warm here are (((((((((hugs)))))))))) for you all.

i did joke in work last week wen hubby stayed home from work one night cos he said he was sic of never seeing me an worrying about money so he was picking me up when i findished work, i said to the girls in work maybe the doctors told him sumut he hasnt told me, or maybe hes thinking of poping me off, we did laugh about it, hubby laughed and said how can you think that when im being nice to you, lmao
keep warm puss and everyone
glad yoru feeling brighter, just nieeed to fget rid of the pain now don t we lol

morning darlings, just a update on the new duloxitine, ive been on it now for 8 weeks and there is no change in the pain, but taking the 60 mg there is a remarked change in my mood, im much brighter and have less of the days where im down from the pain, i chat a litte longer and can be bothered to do things i normaly couldnt be bothered to do, i definatley recomend it , specky has to tell me to shut up now where as before he would be asking are you ok lol, had a good few days, but back to the big pain today but am i bovvered xxx

hi julie, i hate when different doc,s have different therioes, you stick to what you know best, i couldnt manage without the tramodol, and i know when my 4 hrs is nearly up, as for the head pain, opioids dont help, i spoke to consultant, its a antinflamatory that works like voltarol, within 20 minutes of feeling i was going to die, they kicked in and withind 3 hrs felt ok enough to sit up, i also find now eating with medication helps it makes the liver work faster breaking down the pain reliveve to work faster.
as for the duloxitine, it has lifted my mood is the most thing ive noticed thus letting me cope better with the painxxx

im on 30s puss

havent reduced the tramacet anymore now, since spoke to nurologist, he will have to give me something to replace um first if he thinks they cause the headpain but i dont htink so somehow

i kmow what its like with the head usually 4 days on 3 days off, the one friday was like a brain haemorage, had to go hosp, just resting now with me lap top on me legs, there not hurting, i find the duloxitine help with keeping me spirits up but im on 60 mg, whats yours xx

lmao puss
make you laugh dont they,
paracetamol, !!!!!!!!!

i get leg pain, it goes from hip down, some days it catches me wehn i walk, and leg goes from underme, like siatica, so i end up limping/hobbling,
the tramadol helped with that,

backs been bad today,
headache cleared saturday mornign after 3 days and nights constant, so i know now the duloxetine dont stop them,
theres a suprise,!!!!!!

yes dawnie, i get that its as if the bone is being eaten away , the accident and emergency doc hadnt even heard of fm, then asked what job i did, i said on a good day i have a stick on a bad i socilise in a wheel chair, but 24/ there is pain, he was shocked then said does paracetomol work lol, yeh a thousand mayby xxx lol

Puss
mine are as if the whole bones hurt so as soon as you stand gets even worse. also get what is like a cramp in legs but not in muscl;es but in the bones, know they dont make sense but only way i can describe it.

hello fibro crew, was wonering apartafrom the normal leg ang knee pain, do anyone get a severe pain in leg/legs enough to make you want to moan out loud

It can be the collywobbles, chronic pain or the same as a bout of food poisoning almost, wind, bloating, everyone gets different symptons but it is mainly brought on by stress I think and anxiety. Different remedies suit different people but I realise now I have had this since a teenager, used to think I was dying sometimes with the pain, and once on holiday in Cornwall, was taken to hospital by my then partner. As it was in the days of mini skirts and smock dresses, and my smock dresses were minis lol, they thought at first I was pregnant and going into labour lol I was a stick insect at the time, hard to believe I know if you have met me lol, but my bloated tummy under the smock looked just like several months gone!Would definitedly wish ibs on my worse enemy.
