I also have fibro and have had two year long bouts with pf, before the fibro began. I believe I am starting to have the problems again. It seems, Dr., that my symptoms move from joint to joint to joint. I go to an awesome chiropractor weekly but am needing more treatment because of the rain. Springtime is awful for me. I have a very hard time believing that this disease does not cause longterm damage to the joints. I know you listed fibro as a syndrome but for me this is a disabeling disease. I have recently found out that all of the female decendants of my paternal grandmother have been diagnosed with fibro, lupus, ibs, chrones and various other rhuematic problems. We all test negative for RA but many have the swollen hand and feet joints. One of my cousins died with her hands swollen and turned like an apes. I am wondering if we all have something undiagnosed and the fibro and etc. are symptoms of something bigger. What do you think?View Thread
I have Fibro and had horrible hand, wrist and forearm pain especially during rain. Found out it was from the Lyrica. I switched to Gabapentin and hardly ever have that pain. Also, got the best sleep I've had in 15 years. However, since the Gabapentin/Nuerontin is for seizures, it does cause problems such as not being able to recall common words at times. I couldn't take Cymbalta or nortriptaline due to my sleep disorder but the Gaba doesn't leave hangovers. I wonder if your on Lyrica?View Thread
