Hello fellow FMS victims,
I'm new here. For my first 8 years of FMS, I hurt 24/7 all over. Then I tried Lyrica for about 6 weeks. It helped my pain a lot, but I gained 40 pounds in th6 weeks and it made me suicidal. Fortunately my fibro pain has not returned to the pre-Lyrica level or as widespread. Yea!
Today, I have some pain in various areas, but it has not been bad. The biggest problem for me is overwhelming lethargy (I also have CFS). Do any of you have debilitating lethargy and if so, how do you handle it? Thanks in advance!
