Hi Lissy you mentioned oxygen treatments and I am wondering if you would share where you get them and any details concerning them? How long do they last for? Thank you 🏥🌈
I was on Lyrica and I found it made me feel worse. I also think it affected my teeth as two of them fell out whilst I was taking it and the same thing happened to a friend of mine. I found oxygen treatment the most helpful for pain.
Iv been on lyrica but it didn't agree with me it made me forgetful and anxious I've also had botox injections in my neck and shoulder I had about 10 injections in one visit but unfortunately it left me stiff and in more pain for about 3 days then the normal pain returned I'm waiting on more injections in my back but not holding on much hope though
I am currently taking a combination of lyrica and duloxetine for my fibro symptoms and it has been a godsend for me. Luckily I have not developed the side effects many do on lyrica.
It has improved my pain so much. I may have gained weight (which I blame on my own metabolism issues), but I had so much pain before lyrica that I would not want to go back to that.
Lyrica might as well be sugar pills. I've tried various dosage and nothing. Either it doesn't work or I haven't figured it out.
I've done injections and they help in some areas others not. But I'm grateful where they did help. The pain tends to come back just how long varies. Though my left shoulder blade has minimized a lot and has been for a few years now and am grateful for that.
