Hey Jen,
I was wondering if Johnny is still taking Lyrica for his Fibro?  I was taking 75mg 2x a day then after a month with no side affects my doc bumped me up to 150mg 2x a day... Wow... I thought they were going to kill me.  It was really weird, my whole body had this numb feeling to it but I could still feel the pain really bad.  My feet and legs swelled up so bad that I couldn't even wear my shoes.  I was worse off then I am with out any meds.  My doc put me back on the vicodin since that is the only thing that has been working.  I'm hoping to get in with the pain managment specialist by this Friday.  I was just wondering how Johnny was doing.  Hope the Lyrica is working out for him a lot better then it do for me.

Hugs

   Sorry to hear you are having problems with it, but I have to say so was Johnny..They took him off of it and told him they could give him darvocet for pain, but he can't take it due to allergies...So, he is on NOTHING right now and in so much pain, he can barely walk..It saddens me to watch him in so much pain....I hope and pray that you BOTH get relief soon...He is going to a specialist next week..You keep me posted and I will keep you posted

OMG.. Jen... Johnny is on nothing!?!  I just cringed when I read that.  I can't even begin to describe how painful this is.  Can he take Cymbalta?  I know it was approved this past June for Fibro.  Not sure if it works every well or not.  The only thing I've found that will work for me is vicodin but my primary doc won't prescribe me any more.  I have just enough to last me to Friday and God forbid something happens to cause it to flare up any worse.  I'm praying I'm able to get my appointment for the pain management specialist by Friday. What burns me up is they say ‘we don’t want you go become addicted to the pain meds’. Well I’m sorry but this is something that I will have the rest of my life and has no cure. So what if I become addicted as long as I can take something that will allow me to be able to function enough to enjoy my daughter and provide a life for my family. I’m sorry for the rant but these doctors just burn me up.   Keep my posted. Tell Johnny he is in my prayers and give him a hug for me.
