Who else had FMS

[schellie69]

I had that problem when I started Lyrica also Grit but then in Oct 2009 Got my meds filed for November of that year Told Dr we lost insurance on Nov 1st so needed cheaper meds for Dec he forgot I went through 6 days with no meds and withdrawal from morphine that was the worse thing I have ever been though. I lost a bunch of weight and it really took a bite out of me. I am just now getting to were I was. I do wish I could afford to go back on the lyrica but we still don't have prescription meds so stick with the generics. I have not been sleeping well and I feel it. I did take some time this afternoon and spent some time with the babies and let the big girls out and watched them free range it sure was the best medicine I could have ever taken.

I have it too. I got it from a very difficult back labor with my son 7 years ago. It is a hard road but finding a Dr. that will
work with you will make all the difference in the world! I don't have very much support from my DH. He seems to think
that it's just an excuse to be lazy. I wish! I tried to explain to him that the question for me each day isn't "Am I going to be
in pain?" but instead "How bad is the pain going to be?" I pace myself as much as I can and like others, a good night's
sleep can make or break the next day for me. Has anyone found a way to impress upon loved ones what the pain is
like and that it's as real as anything? My DH just doesn't get it or maybe doesn't like to think of me as being breakable.
Some days my body feels like I've been beaten with a baseball bat! DH thinks I *must* be exaggerating. ugh.

I'm really glad to find this thread and not feel like 'the only one', ya know? Thanks, y'all!

gentle

to everybody!

I am glad you found this post. My DH knew something was wrong because I changed so much I fought for 3 1/2 years to find out what was wrong he talked to my pain specialist who told him what it I was feeling. I am now on a good pain management meds which helps so much. I have a pain med that keeps the pain at bay then I have a pain med for break through pain I also take a muscle relaxer along with a pill to help me sleep I am going to see if I can afford to take lyrica again that one really helps plus I lost so much weight when I lost my insurance due to going through withdrawal that I need it to put the weight back on. I would sit down with DH and let him read this thread maybe it would help or talking to your doctor. Finding the right amount and the right med's can and will make the difference. I know I don't like taking pills but I will if that means I can be mom and grandma to the ones I love. Feel free to PM me if you need to talk.
