My gp arranged very quickly for me to see a psychiatrist as he was concerned about my pain and cognitive difficulties.
I am happy to report that the psych does not think I have any type of mental disorder and that this pain the past 2 years has really affected my mood and my depression, He feels if I could get the pain to a better level I would be functioning better.
He has put me on Lyrica so I was wondering if any of you are on it and if it helped you.
I can tell you that it has helped already I just took my second dose and slept much better last night. Could this be the miracle drug for me . *I sure hope so..
I want to tahnk all of you for your support and good ides.
I feel I havre the right medical team and am so happy today.. Hugs to you all..
I was taking lyrica until I decided to try and get pregnant. It is a fabulous med. I was also noticing positive results almost immediately. It helped me wth the pain and some other weird feelings my body gave me. Let’s hope this works the miracle you are looking for.
Hi Lisa, yes Lyrica works great for some , sounds like you found something that is going to help , I’m so glad for you.
Thank you for sharing … I know myself I wonder if I’m going crazy, the daily pain and fatique makes functioning so difficult , I used to be able to force a smile & hide my pain for a short amt of time … That’s getting harder, so I wonder is the fibro getting worse or am I just exhausted from pushing to function?
So its nice to here a trained specialist re-assure that the pain can affect mood… That means someone gets it …
