    New to Forum

    Hi Everyone. So glad there is a forum available. I'was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia many years ago. Now with OA, Sjogren's, Hoshimotos, lupus(skin), lumbar stenosis.... The fibro is definitely the major contributor to my issues. I was lucky enough to be approved for disability 3 years ago and...

    Your experience with Lyrica

    Hello All. Just diagnosed a few weeks ago with Fibro and was prescribed Lyrica (50mg, every night - increasing to 75mg next week). I read a lot of reviews on the net about substantial weight gain. That worries me as I do NOT want to trade one problem for another. The only side effect for...

    New Here. Getting Fatter and Fatter

    Hi Everyone. New to the site. Confirmed Fibro Victim for 10 years but managing day by day. I quit taking so many baths and it helps me to accept the pain rather than hide behind it! Just wondering if there is anyone out there (Canada) who is on an anti-depressant, pain killer et al that causes...

    Unexpected Diagnosis

    Hi. I was just diagnosed with Fibromyalgia on Friday by a Rhuematologist. I am 41 years old, married almost 20 years, and have 3 children ages 8-23. I was surprised by this diagnosis to say the least. I had heard of Fibromyalgia but not thought about it in regard to the way I was feeling...

    experiences with neurontin

    Hello, everyone.....I know this has probably been discussed, but frankly didn't want to search through everything. I hope you don't mind my asking about Neurontin, or gabapentin again. I'm going to try it, starting off extremely slowly. I'm concerned about weight gain, as I've lost 60 lbs...

    Elevated cortisol and Fibro symptoms

    Hi all, Forgive me if this has already been addressed -- I looked around but am so foggy and tired today I didn't put much effort into it. Has anyone else been found to have elevated cortisol, and if so, do you feel that is related to your Fibro symptoms? I am waiting on the results of a third...

    Hi - I've been on gabapentin now for a few months - 900-1200 mg /day as well as Cymbalta - 60 mg per day and have gained 10 lbs. This is a lot for me. I am short and have always watched my weight. I eat well and exercise regularly. My doctor suggested weaning off the gabapentin and...
