I was started on Lyrica, and I do have pain meds on hand if I need them. I've been so tired lately, but the doctor just called the other day and told me that my thyroid did a swan dive, so that may be part of it. I still have more testing to go before we know exactly what is going on. I am blessed that I do not have to work outside the home, but I do have to work. However, I honestly am trying to imagine how those of you who work outside the home manage.
