He ha that madee giggle about the runner๐๐ think I am going to give my doc a call tomorrow morning... Thank you xxx
Ask for gabapentin Hun you seem to be having a reaction to pregabalin. Just stop taking them and ask to swap over,
The two tablets are the same but if one doesn't work properly then the other is advised instead.. I had a similar bad reaction to pregabalin and I've now been much better on gabapentin x
Omw!!! That's a list and half....I'm sad that we need these pills just to make it through the day..if I forget my pills within hours I'm in terrible pain that makes my normal pain on them seem like I'm overreacting...
Big hugs to all my fibro family..you made such a difference to my life and made acceptance easier ๐๐๐๐
They cover themselves hubby saying it can take weeks to work ... It's not always the case, when I swapped them over I noticed things changing over a week, I am on a lot of other meds (too many to list now) but you can ask for co-codamol, tramadol and even diazepam for instant relief while you await the effect of gabapentin xx
@A MyFibroTeam Member I know you're in a lot of pain but until the medicine works (fingers crossed) the more stressed, panicked, upset, anxious you are...the worse the pain will be. I know it seems impossible to relax right now but if you have an iPod or something you can listen to relaxing music. Or if you have a smartphone, download an app that will help you relax by breathing exercises, music, mindful meditation...something! You might be more comfortable. If you're able to do any Yoga, that might help too. I know you're thinking I'm nuts but I'm only trying to help. These things really do help. XX
