ibromyalgia
"Lyrica has helped my pain from fibromyalgia IMMENSELY. It helps better than anything I've tried including narcotic pain medicines. I've had fibromyalgia for 6 years now and Lyrica is by far the best option for fibro pain. I take 200mg twice daily and 100mg once daily. (It really helps me to take 20mg of Flexeril at bedtime too but build a tolerance first). The combination sets me up for a pain-free day. When starting Lyrica, it does cause a feeling of imbalance, weight gain, and water retention but after about a week or two the side effects go away. I am so grateful for Lyrica. It has improved my quality of life exponentially and I don't feel all doped up as the narcotics make me feel. THANK GOD FOR LYRICA!"
