Does Anyone Take Lyrica
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

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?

Does Heat Bother Anyone?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Right now I'm sitting here with my face burning up and just feel hot all over. Just started about four hours ago. I know heat bothers me, but this seems worse than normal. Temp outside earlier was 95 and just walking to the mailbox and back made me feel horrible. It's 72 in the house now, and I'm still burning up. No fever. I'm on Synthroid because I don't have a thyroid anymore, but levels were fine two months ago. I'm 63 and had a hysterectomy five years ago, so not a female hormonal issue. I… read more
