Hi ready,
I can honestly say that I know how you feel. I was diagnosed with fibro. about 10 years ago and it is still very frustrating to deal with. I can tell you that if you know the Lyrica worked for you then tell that pain management Dr. that the Lyrica and vicodin combo. is what worked before and you want to try that first before anything else. If your insurance co. denies to pay for the Lyrica, the office just needs to keep resubmitting it until they agree to cover it. I am an RN and I deal with insurance companies on a daily basis. Lyrica is still "new" and the insurance companies want your Dr. to try an older, less expensive med. first and if that fails they will cover the Lyrica. Sometimes it even helps if you call them for authorization yourself. You will find something that works for you, and once you find it DO NOT let anyone talk you into changing it. I also know this from first hand experience. I have had many ups and downs with this weird, crazy, unpredictable illness and when I go to bed at night, it is anyone's guess how I will feel when I wake up in the morning. I am currently experiencing a flare up that is going on its 3rd week. In my ten years of having this, I have never, ever been this miserable, or in this much pain from a flare up before and I am having a very hard time dealing with it. This is just how unpredictable fibro. can be and it is different for everyone. I am sorry that your husband does not understand yet. It is very important that he becomes familiar with your illness, or at least tries to become familiar with it. My husband at first didnt understand and I took him with me to some of my Dr. appointments so she could explain it to him. He is very supportive when I cant get out of bed for days at a time. It is hard for them to think of you as sick when you look healthy on the outside though. He may just need time. I am new to this community as well and so far I have learned many useful tips to help me during this flare up of mine. It is very depressing to be in pain all the time, but dont give up.View Thread
