ibromyalgia
"I have had fibromyalgia for over 20 years.  I started out with the drugs used then.  In the last 5 years, we had to change the medications due to increased pain.  When Lyrica came out, it helped a lot.  Adding tramadol has been the best answer to my pain needs now.  I take 100mg two times daily.  The only side effect I see is a good one.  I am less tired.  Can't take it too close to bed or it will keep me up.  It helps me so much sometimes I wonder if that is good.  For now, I am very glad for this drug."
