Hi Fellow Fibro Sufferers;
Last night I caught just part of a commercial done by Pfizer that was directed toward people who suffer with fibromyalgia. They were talking about a new medication. I wish I would have seen the whole commercial but I didn't. Anyone know about this? I'll look at the Pfizer site. Nancy-H |

The moment I saw that the commercial was sponsored by Pfiezer I knew it was for Lyrica. Darn cheeky bastards.

Hi there,
I've been on Lyrica for about 3 years now - currently 150mg twice a day. I'd not associated it with the feeling loopy/dopey; I'm on so many other meds it could be any of them ! It doesn't really do anything for the fibro as such; in fact I've been known to stop taking them, or just forget to. But hey, after a few days I know about it because I ache everywhere & the "normal" fibro aches/spasms seem to take longer to settle. |

hey all...Jan 19th 2009 the FDA approved a new drug called savella. It was specifically developed for fibro. It has side effects like all medicine but there is one good one! An average weight loss of 1 to 2 lbs a month. Have no idea when it will be available...it is brand new. I went to the web site and asked to be notified when available. Here is the link to read up on.
