You’d think being flexible would be a good thing. I think my rheumatologist has shied away from Lyrica because of the warnings of suicide risks. My GI doc did the same with a different med for me. I guess the doctors just don’t want to take a chance with a bipolar patient.
Same happened with our weather. Temp plummeted to a super windy (gale warning), 41F, wind chill 32F. I think it will warm soon. Hope so. It usually doesn’t stay brutally cold that long here.

Yes neurontin and gabapentin is the same.
Since you have finally found stability you might want to ask about Lyrica. My husband has severe neuropathy and he takes it for the nerve pain and it helps him so much, Fibro is just nerve pain so it might be worth a try.
