medication choices

Hi, I have had fibro for 9 years, it started with my last pregnancy.  As you all know some day s are better than others.  I was wondering what types of meds others have tried.  I take Neruonton and vicodine.  I want to get of the last one if I can.  I can't take lyrica.  Any ideas?

Hi ! I'm not surprised to hear that your fibro started after a pregnancy. I've met several people on MedHelp who had health issues after their pregnancy. I know that there are some theories out there as to why this happens.

Anyhow, the good news is that you have plenty of options !  Would it surprise you to hear that there are physicians who have CFS and/or fibro and none of them recommend Lyrica ? Here's a link to the physicians that I pay attention to and why:
