    Just diagnosed -- also have IC/PBS

    After years of having hip, low back, shoulder and neck pain that has waxed and waned, I was diagnosed with fibro last week by a rheumatologist. My pain has gotten worse these last few months. My stress also has increased, so I'm not all that surprised, I suppose. I am just feeling tired of...

    Hello from Arkansas

    Hi! I'm about to turn 25 but suspect I have had this since 19 when I had a riding accident that screwed up my back. I just thought I was weird for having pain when my arms and legs were touched, even by clothing. Now that I work for my GP I have asked her about it and she said classic fibro...

    I know I'm not supposed to do it this way, but it just ended up happening this way. I tried to get an answer from my doc on how to go off it, but he was on vacation and didn't get a response so I thought I'd just skip a day so I'm taking it every other day, then every two days, etc. The...

    Caution!

    I hope this will help someone else too. I quite Lyrica not because I wanted to, because it did help nerve pain, But in the process it also had 2 side effects I can not put up with. One is weight gain, for myself 20 to 30 lbs. Also can cause unusual ways of thinking. I've actually caught myself...
