I sure feel for you - I have fibromyalgia, migraines, ptsd, and chronic fatigue syndrome myself.

Have you tried any triptans for the migraines? Amerge works well for me, because it isn't generic I'm only allowed 9 tablets per month on medicaid, but when I have them, they help immensely.

A stretching exercise program sounds great! I handle pain levels with gentle exercise, distraction, and hot baths. I've arranged my life (I'm fully disabled and on SSI) to minimize the effects of pain and fatigue, I'm never fully free of it but do manage sometimes to take the edge off. A wise doc once told me that the goal is exactly that: to take the edge off, not necessarily to remove the pain entirely (although that would be nice).

I've been curious how folks are doing on lyrica. I've decided to not take it as I don't need even more fatigue and grogginess.

Sure can be interesting to have to weigh out the benefits and detriments to various treatments isn't it?

Good luck to you, hope you catch a break from those migraines. I'm currently in menopause and hoping that maybe once I'm post menopausal I'll be post migraine too!
