I'm curious as to why you feel it is "extremely unlikely" hurtsobad doesn't have MS?

I have MS without a doubt. I have had the kind of pain that hurtsobad is describing, usually when I am having a relapse. I am aware of some being diagnosed with fibro who have gone on to also be diagnosed with MS - unfortunately, some can have both.

Hurtsobad, I am using Lyrica or rather I was using Lyrica for pain, different than your having. I thought it was helping but in my case the pain gets worse or better no matter if I take the Lyrica.
