Lyrica, fibromyalgia, January 24

I wouldn’t be writing another log note on this subject except that so many have read the previous:

There isn’t anything to add to the previous notes; the dosage stays at 300 mg. of Lyrica and 2000 mg. of acetaminophen daily, broken in 2; there hasn’t been a debilitating day of pain in weeks, there is slight dizziness early in the morning, feelings of fatigue and naps throughout the day; that’s about it; I certainly want to continue with this drug, have no reason at all to stop taking it, am so happy that I overheard doctors talking about it, and that I asked them to tell me the story.

There is one observation that I have made from reading the reports of the others who have this thing: I don’t think that there is as much subjective or unique nature to the problem, there appears to be a strong common thread in all of their stories, both history and current situation; I have nothing other than a hunch about that, you can judge that one for yourself.

Again, this is one guy’s observation and opinion, I buy this stuff at the same price and place that everyone else does, have no affiliation with Pfizer or any medical group.

My only advice continues to be the same: Be active, don’t wait for some physician to come to you, and make sure that you have a doc who appreciates active patients, if yours doesn’t get rid of him.

The hawk has just returned, I think that it is a kestrel, it is sitting outside my window, all the sparrows have disappeared from view, none in the bushes or on the wires; it was here last week, I wrote about it then and then did a search to see what kind of bird it might be, kestrel was all I could come up with.
