[I still care]

Thanks for posting.

I was just prescribed Lyrica for unrelenting fibromyalgia and other nerve pain. This was of interest to me.

please be advised: "fibromyalgia" is often medicalese for "it is all in the patient's head", used as such by a physician who will not look carefully for the cause of the perceived pain.

fwiw, I have observed that most cases of "fibromyalgia" are actually exacerbated cases of fibromyesitis - a very small, localized soft-tissue injury - with attendant edema (swelling) which causes an impingement on a nerve root, which in turn causes referred pain along that nerve chain AND cascades of neuromuscular and even skeletal problems, as well as panicking the patient.

if you want to talk about this, FReepmail.

I would be interested to hear what you think of Lyrica. Drs are hesitant to prescribe it for my daughter since it is a "new" drug.
