Question What do you use Lyrica for and does it work?

I am currently taking 450mg of Lyrica for Fibromyalgia. It does not seem to be working however. I am in so much pain. Not like typical pain, but pain where it hurts to be touched, can't take showers because the beating of the water hurts, wearing clothes hurts. Then there is the sheer exhaustion. Not being sleepy, but feeling like I am always one step away of passing out because I am so exhausted, even though all I have done for the day is wake up and maybe take a bath (which for me takes forever because of the exhaustion and pain).

Is 450mg of Lyrica a low dose for Fibro? Does this sound like Fibro? I have so many other symptoms that go with either Fibro and/or MS. I was dx with "possible MS" over two years ago and am wondering if there is more to my pain and other symptoms than Fibro.

Please if anyone has any experience with Lyrica, I would like to hear it. Also any other thoughts/ideas/comments would be greatly appreciated.
