Hi @petangelkat1, I tried Lyrica for the fibro and got an “altered mental status”. In other words, I was acting crazy and couldn’t form sentences or remember my dog’s name. I tried Abilify for the depression, but don’t think I was on enough to do any good. You’re right in that rain definitely makes pain worse and a cold rain is a double whammy. I actually bought turmeric and then found out I had a clot in my lung and couldn’t take anti inflammatories. Seems like we’re walking down the same path!........Karen

@karen00, I tried Lyrics and it worked great for me with one exception: I had difficulty fulfilling my responsibilities as a wife, mother, church member, friend, and employee. My thinking was foggy and I would forget really important dates or events. It really took the pain of Fibromyalgia away, but for now, I will just do the best I can without it. As for Abilify, a close family member was on it and was like a zombie for over a year. Everyone is different, and maybe it works for a lot of people. Just not for my person. It is so important to look for reactions to any medication and especially to let your PCP know about every single herb or vitamin you put in your mouth. I'm hoping and praying for all of us that we get the answers we need to live as healthy as we can!
