Fbrofran here, Booch...ditto on many of your tool box fixes. Savella was great, but no insurance, so couldn't stay on it and that sucks. I think Lyrica might work for me too but $200 a month??? So I just started gabapentin andd it's a miracle after 2 days!!! Feel reborn, my spine has opened up, top to bottom, no pain, hands and feet came alive etc. and it's cheap. I wish a doctor gave me this 10 years ago. Thats the hard part for me. I accept what I have, but not getting treated for so many agonizing days and night of my life have been lost, never to be recovered. Oh well, onwards we go. see ya later, and have a great one. fibro franView Thread

So it is withdrawals off Lyrica, very hard. Were you on any anti-depressants before Lyrica? If you were you probably need a replacement maybe? Also did you taper off the Lyrica or go cold turkey? All the symptoms will eventually go away if you don't require an antidepressant which many people with fibro do take for it. So sorry you were put in this position. Double up on the vitamins, drink alot of water, get good sleep, and be patient with yourself. Talk to your doc if you need an antidepressant for fibro too. Best wishes, fibro franView Thread

Thanks Booch, yes I went through this brutal, humiliating, tortorous test for bladder issues....not going with their suggestions of surgery, NOT THERE. Will try Hanes, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. (I'm 61 and just was diagnosed after 20 years of a million doctors and tests with fibro, I knew I had it all along) I wasn't going to go to the last appointment to be interrogated and demeaned again BUT this Doctor said the word Fibro and my heart leaped, what a vindication finally. So glad to be here Nancy, forgive me if I forget your name next time lol. Take care and enjoy, fibrofranView Thread

An356... we could be Twins. No income, no insurance, no support etc etc and older....Been through it all. I decided to just focus on what is absolutely necessary to keep trying to find the right stuff for you. I almost didn't go the my appointment at this clinic this week after feeling ignored for the millionth time. But I went. Took the long sweaty journey. And finally after a long long long time got my diagnosis. It is a liberating thing psychologically for me. I say to myself, OK I have this thing and now I work with that. I tried alot of meds too, bad results. But this one doc had some good ideas, did some blood tests and turned in a new direction to treat me. Even if everybody else let you down, don't let yourself down, keep going and your efforts will pay off. I wish you the best, FibroFranView Thread

Hi, just started gabapentin 300 mg 3 times a day. Was warned of the dizziness, does anyone know how long it lasts? It's doing wonders for my fibro pain in only 2 days, so really want to stick with it, just need to know how long the dizziness will last? Also, has anyone found taking it on a different schedule works better and is it ok to? Thank you and feel better, FibroFranView Thread

The slightest touching all around the groin drives me crazy, have a gazillion different styles, fabrics, cuts, none good. ANY ideas. I confess I go without most of the time happily but with skirts I can't. Also need something to put pads on?? It takes forever to get dressed with this fibro from shoes, socks, shirts, waist and chest issues, temperature issues, I barely wear much in the house, very light tank type skimpy things are my wardrobe. Any ideas ladies? Thank you All in advance, so glad to be here. I never formally introduced myself, just jumped in and answered someone's post. Gently, FibroFranView Thread

Hi FibroGirl1969, me too, all of it. I use Similasan homeopathic
DRY eye drops. Most drugstore chains carry it, I am addicted to it, Since it's all natural you can use it without worry and it's cheap, way cheaper than any RX. The nightsweats are killing me too, and day sweats. I take melatonin a few hours before sleep, also over the counter, and it really helps. I have to keep the airconditioner on about 68 degress too, no matter what it costs, I won't eat, but I Need that cool. Good luck and hope this helps. Oh, I also wash my eyes with a cool wet wash cloth a few times a day and it seems to calm them too. So no more eye make up but if I wear make up the problemds are worse no matter what the products are. FibroFranView Thread
