I’m wondering if anyone who reads my blog takes Lyrica for Fibromyalgia? I was once diagnosed with Fibro, although I have always questioned it (mostly because some symptoms like chronic fatigue/pain are similar to the general effects of CKD/ESRD).
I’ve been having more and more ‘episodes’ of chronic pain which prevent me from sleeping and moving (think: I-ache-all-over-like-the-flu pain) and lead me to (reluctantly) wonder if maybe the Fibro diagnosis is really plausible.

12 years. The twins will be 13 in January. MY SON will be 8 in July. Where has the time gone?
So, here I am - if I could only calm my mind and heart, I’d really be vacationing.
