Intro
A friend just pointed me this way and I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone.
I've officially been diagnosed with fibromyalgia for several years now, but know from the symptoms its been around a lot longer. I currently take Ultram, Lyrica, and an NSAID. I struggle with the pain, the fatigue and even the extra weight gain from the lyrica. I wasn't thin before, but since the doctor tripled the lyrica my weight has really climbed more and more...but that is a side note.
I think the hardest thing on my life is not the pain now -- the meds seem to make it tolerable most of the time, but the fatigue is horrible. Of course, my husband reminds me that I can say that now because I am not in a flare up...lol.
