Oh you poor thing. I tore my on Easter. Take care of it, it takes a while to get better.

I always flare around the holidays, and this year is no exception! I'll probably be going to bed around 8 tonight. I feel like I was hit by a train and I'm just downright exhausted x___x

Do you take Lyrica daily or as needed? Just curious. I was prescribed a fairly low dose and haven't been able to get a hold of my doctor to talk about going higher. It didn't seem to be doing much so I haven't been taking it the past few weeks.

Happy holidays!! Hope tomorrow is a little better for you :-)

I take it daily. it really helps me sleep. i started taking like 25 mg 3 times a day i think? something like that? because at first it was making me feel drunk and i was in school so that was no good haha. but now i take 50mg in the morning and afternoon and then 100 mg at night. it really helps me and i dont really have any side effects except for some mild pressure headaches after i take them but it's not so bad. at 25 mg it wasnt really doing much for me. i also take an extra 50 mg pill when im flaring and that tends to make my flares like work through-able and only last a couple hours cause mine would last allll day.

I'm on 50mgs 3 times a day right now. At first I felt really high taking it but after a few weeks that thankfully went away. Unfortunately I'm not noticing a huge difference in pain. I mean it's a difference but... not enough to pay $90 a month for. It helps with my nerve problems (I pinch the nerve in my back all the dang time) though. I dunno, I'm hearing that most people are on between 150 and 250 mgs 3 times a day sometimes higher o.o

i as well have been lying around today
well being miserable and crying in bed does that count?

i can barely move and i'm to be criticzed by my grandparents who love to yell at my family the most, yet out of her children my mum helps her and has the most

[odetoverse]

yeah that shit is THE. WORST. yeah usually when i cry and stuff it gives me a headache and then i have a flareup. that was what happened today. families love to criticize around the holidays (or all of the time haha)

i hope you feel better :D

I've been doing my best to take it easy and not overdo it- so I've been pretty good today! Although now that I'm home and seated my low back, knees, and outer calves are starting to stiffen up and get sore.

I hope you get to feeling better and get those cinnamon rolls!

[odetoverse]

yeah sometimes sitting makes it worse and sometimes it makes it better. im gonna start my cinnamon rolls and try to pace myself haha. thanks :P
