Does Anyone Take Lyrica
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

I didn't want to take due to bipolar could flare up but I'm desparate. Even my neuron tin is not helping. It feels like my body is attacking itself. Horrible. Does Anything take pain away and I can keep some abilities?

Yes, I have it. But about three years ago I went to a foot doctor, he shot a few spots. After that I haven't had too much problems.

Excessive Sleepiness Being On Neurontin
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

I have been to a Rheumatologist in Cape Town . He has put me on Neurotin. I am on the full dose 800mg in the morning and 800 mg in the evening. The problem is that I have gone form only getting 2 to 3 hours sleep a night to , sleeping the entire day. I am awake from around 4pm to about 1 or 2 am then wake up at 5:30am, have tea take my meds and within an hour I am fast asleep. I fall asleep in pain and wake up in pain. Has this happened to anyone else? This is madness !

Hello everyone,

I just was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and this weekend I started Neurontin. This is my third day and I have taken two out of the three pills I am going to take today. It is controlling my pain but I noticed my lips are tingling and are a little numb. Is that normal? Any thoughts will be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Donna

The tingling and numbing started once I started the Neurontin. The Er and regular doctor said is was allergic reaction. But I hope it stops for you soon.
