    Lyrica Effect?

    I was diagnosed with Fibro almost two years ago. I'm sad to say that so far I have only got a little relief from my pain meds like Norco. :(. I was on Gabapentin for maybe a year and it did not do a thing even with increasing the dose. Eventually I started getting migraines. Soon as I stopped...

    Just joined

    I was diagnosed by my general physician but he seemed quick to make the diagnosis. But I have been to a neurologist, rheumatologist, ortho doctor all trying to figure this out.

    New Member, Not New to Fibro

    Hi everyone- new member here. I was diagnosed with fibro in 1998. Had a rough time for several years- then things eased for a while. Back and forth- now I have reached a stage where the "good" days are more like hours and the "bad" days are one right after another. I take gabapentin, was on...

    Every wonder what to do...?
