    I'm in denial

    I've done quite a bit of research on fibro because I suspect my husband may have it, although the VA hasn't given him a diagnosis, he does have an rx for Lyrica and Cymbalta. But that's another can of worms. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety in college, hypothyroidism when I was 22...

    Anyone trying to live without prescription drugs?

    I took Lyrica a couple years ago for 3 weeks, but stopped due to the side effects...dizziness and constant sleepiness. Now my pain is intense again and my doc prescribed Cymbalta. Sounds like the side effects can be pretty bad with this one too. I really don't want to start taking it. Is...

    Feel Like No One Wants To Help Me..

    This August I saw a Rheumatologist who I had to drive two hours to see. He told me I had fibromyalgia and said there was nothing he could do to help me. About two weeks ago I saw my GP who pretty much told me no to any idea of a pain relief other than Lyrica. Desperate for something to help my...

    Depression

    I know depression is a symptom, but is Cymbalta/Lyrica used to reduce depression or pain? If so why wouldn't other anti depressants help? Possibly stronger doses?

    Pain Medications

    Hello, My Dr. just put me on hydrocodone 10/325 mg three times a day. Helps greatly, but I'm still in "full body pain". It works great for about 2 hours, then wears off. I was previously prescribed gabapentin which did nothing at all for the pain, so he took me off that and put me on the...

    Fibromyalgia disbelief

    I haven't been diagnosed yet, but I have a referral to a rheumatologist this coming Tuesday. My referral states: possible arthritis or fibromyalgia. I have been asked by friends and family before if it could be fibromyalgia. Every time I looked it up, I didn't think so. Mainly because I don't...
