I have been on Lyrica (150mg, 2 times/day), since early 2016. Since then, have gained 60 pounds. I have been put on a water pill to reduce the water retention. Does anyone have any advice on diet or excessive programs that are fibro friendly?

Pool therapy, riding a stationery bike, massage, a heating pad, and also ice. All of these things work for me. I am trying to stay away from the Oxycontin. I too have gained weight; 50 pounds while I was on Prednisone. I'm finally off that and have lost 30 pounds, but I'm slowing gaining it back due to Lyrica.

Good luck!

Love and hugs. :o)
