So, is the push to NOT test people for SNF, and instead just give them Lyrica and call it Fibro? WTH?
So what is next....tell every one with small fiber that it is just fibro and not do any further diagnostics or any treatments? Just pay loads of bucks to pharma for Lyrica?
Then I would ask....why do so many people have this condition by any name?

Hi, Cycleops -
Yes, indeed - you're absolutely right - Big Pharma has probably made tons of bucks off Lyrica by now. I actually hate to take any meds unless absolutely necessary. I have questioned whether there actually is a fibromyalgia. And I also wonder why when I was growing up and actually had, none of the really elderly people in our town ever had what's become known as Alzheimer's - they didn't even have dementia.
