Hello, I'm Jeya and I had a heart attack and a stent put in 3 months ago. But this also brought my fibro and RA to the forefront and I having been suffering a great deal of pain. My recovery and rehab has been slower because of this, and it has been very frustrating for me. My doctor did increase my Lyrica to 300 and I'm feeling a little better. Wanted to have support and help. Thanks!

Welcome to Connect, a safe place to find support and a great resource for finding answers to your questions. I'm glad that Lyrica is helping. I had a bad reaction to it and was in the hospital for a few days - incoherent, unable to finish a sentence, lost memory and a few other things. I was really disappointed because it was the only med that had relieved the neuropathy pain.
There are groups here that are for folks with RA and fibromyalgia. I know that someone will direct you to those groups, so I will leave that to them. I pray that you'll have a full recovery from the heart attack.
