Well, we have a very good pharmacist who has been our friend and pharmacist for upwards of 15 years. He's always given us good advice and questions anything he doesn't agree with. Our doctor works...
Thank you, Robin and Julie, for your responses. I am now taking Lyrica, Cymbalta, and Tramadol, and today my pain management dr. added Savella, which I have never taken. I'll start it this evening....
Has anybody tried Savella?...
Gosh, thanks, Luvzminis! Everyone has been so generous with their insights and experiences, and I do so appreciate it. But it's quarter to eleven, and I'm really sleepy (I got up abour 4:45 this...
I have used Voltaren Gel, the same way you do, but find that BioFreeze works better. It's kind of expensive, but my husband found it online a lot cheaper, and we bought about a liter of it for about...
Yes, I've just had my first session. They're using something called V-Care, which is like a strong TENS unit. The attached leads to the top of my feet. Unfortunately, I can't feel it in my feet,...
Hope Girl, I find it interesting that foot pain can be caused by FM! Sherrine, Yes, I have been checked for diabetes, and thank the Lord I don't have it!...
Thank you Becky, Alice, and grain-of-salt! I went for my first therapy treatment today. It's a more powerful TENSS unit. They hooked me up and I watched "The Ghost Whisperer" for an hour and then...
Yes. Hang on a minute. It's called Baxter's Nerve Entrapment. Here's where you can find it: http://www.podiatrytoday.com/article/3160 (((Gentle hugs)))! Suzi...
Awwww, Shirley... thank you so much for the sympathy (perhaps I should say empathy!) and the gentle hugs. I felt them. Suzi...
My podiatrist agrees with yours. And I'm walking on the balls or the outsides of my feet, too. I tried wearing the inserts for a month, and all it did was make my feet hurt worse. That's when we...
Hmmm... maybe it's time to try a different combination. Do your feet hurt, too?...
Thank you, Suzane! You seem like a warm and friendly person! I'm sorry for the pain of your headaches. I get one nearly every day, and if I don't catch it soon enough, it'll send me to bed....
I looked it up. Neurontin and Lyrica are both Pregabalin. So you are right! Thanks for the insight. Suzi...
Thanks, Karen! And thank you for the welcome message. It's nice to have others on your side, huh? :) Suzi...
Thank you, SE! I have checked it out, and actually started the same thread there, as it is also a FM issue. I look forward to meeting other members!...
Hi, I'm Suzi, and I'm a fibromyalgia sufferer! Sounds like an AA meeting. Anyway, I'm new here; this is my first post. I didn't know that FM could cause foot pain, but I sure know it now. It cost me...
Well, I go to see my new doctor on Friday. Since I have to be set up with meds all over again, I'll also ask him about it. Thanks for the suggestions, Maz, Chutzie amd Mrsppmrsky!...
Okay, according to the website for Lyrica, bruising isn't one of the side-effects. Any other ideas?...
Wow. I didn't think about it being Lyrica. Hmmm.... more research needed....
Does anyone know anything about mysterious bruising related to Fibromyalgia? Recently, I've begun coming up with really ugly bruises without ever having realized I did anything to cause them. And...
I guess I just worded my question wrong. I know that it is calories and not the weight of the food that makes fat, and I know if you eat more calories than you burn, it is stored as fat. What I was...
I suffer from Fibromyalgia, and take two different antidepressants, Ultram, and Lyrica. But I still hurt. I am only now beginning to recognize the signs of low-level but disturbing pain: I grind my...
