Q: Lyrica treatment

Does Lyrica treat any other symptoms of fibromyalgia besides pain. The reason I ask is because the doctor thinks that I may have that and so I don't want to be on ten different medicines for it if that's what it is.

Lyrica used in fibromyalgia sufferers, only helps in relieving the muscles pain, affecting chemicals in the brain that send pain signals across the nervous system.

Well, it looks like I may have fibromyalgia, but I don't know what medicine they are gonna put me on if that's it, because I have been on everything.

Anti-inflammatory diet works wonders for my fibro.... eat foods that don't cause inflammation.

If you are not a believer...begin to keep track of the foods that you eat as well as the pain levels and location.

My pain level was well over 10 and within a very short period of time with a specific anti-inflammatory diet brought my pain to a zero. After 1 month on this diet I began to introduce different foods back into diet and if my body reacted kindly (give it a day or more) then that would be a food that I could eat without harsh results.

I battled pain for 8 long years....

I am not able to take them, though because of my stomach problems. And I have tried almost everything
