Subject: Hope you feel better soon hon. I hate it when the meds to make us feel better make us feel worse in other ways!!!
In reply to: Sandy 's message, "Not much going on here, thank goodness, but a new medication is completely dragging me out. I'm going to finish what I have and then call the doctor and say "no more!" I can't live like this and don't want to. And since ultimately, what I take, medication wise, rests with me, this is one I don't want to be on. Kate, it was wonderful talking with you yesterday! I still haven't made a decision re: what we were talking about and really need to run it past Gerry anyway before I decide one way or the other. I just know I want to do "something." Or *need* to do something. But your help and guidance were great. Thank you." on 1:17:45 pm, Thu, 10/25/07

  • I really enjoyed talking to you too Sandy!!!
    that just stinks that the meds you are on are actually making you feel worse...may I ask what you are taking it for? Is there something else they can give you instead?? (NT)     -- Kate, 9:08:59 pm, Fri, 10/26/07
  • This is the Lyrica, Kate, that's originally for diabetic neuropathy but they found that it works for the all-over pain of fibromyalgia too. Unfortunately, for me, it's done nothing for my pain but has sure made my life intolerable by making me so tired, all I can do is sleep. To give it a fair trial, I'll finish the 13 pills I have left but then, that's it. No more. I'll be calling the rheumatologist next week and let him know that it's not working. In fact, I feel so miserable that I'm just about ready to quit taking ALL of my medication and see if I can cope. Living like this just isn't worth it. (NT) -- Sandy, 6:26:54 pm, Sat, 10/27/07
