ibromyalgia
"Diagnosed with fibromyalgia 19 yrs ago, no pain medicines until 5 yrs ago. Electro-acupuncture is great, but hard to find/afford. Heating pads aren't therapeutic, I sleep on 4 ice packs (I know, eeww, but whatever works). They help with inflammation, try them. Lyrica gave me agonizing, shooting pains from deep within shoulder and hip joints down humerus and femur. And unwelcome 35 lb weight gain. And blurry vision that meant I couldn't drive. Lyrica was useless for me, so glad you all have something to fight this fibromyalgia."
