ibromyalgia
"I&#039;ve had fibromyalgia for about 30yrs - I am 43.

Endometriosis from ages 13-36, (a hysterectomy &#039;fixed&#039; that;) clinical depression from abt 16, (break down at 28;) anxiety disorder; insomnia &amp;/or severely disturbed sleep cycles for15-20yrs. AND I&#039;ve needed a cane to walk for the last 2-3 yrs.

FMS &amp; depression compete for the title of &quot;most debilitating.&quot;

I&#039;ve tried almst everything, (Cymbalta was useless.)

The last 2 months I&#039;ve been taking slowly increased doses of Lyrica. Currently on 150mg a day, (2&times; 75mg,) with a view to 300-400mg.

I&#039;ve had zero relief from pain, BUT nasty side fx.

Almost no sleep.

Worsened depression &amp; anxiety.

Terrible FMS type &#039;fog.&#039;

Flatulance!

Cannot see this contiuing or improving.
