ibromyalgia
"I have had severe Fibromyalgia for years.  Was so excited when they finally came out with Lyrica because it was "supposed" to help with the nerve pain involved.  When I first started the pain I was in was about a 9 out of 10 in intensity.  After a year of being on the Lyrica it might have gone to a 7 or 8 but it caused me to put on about 40 lbs, my skin changed, and caused a lot of other side effects.  I finally told my doctor it wasn't worth all the side effects if it wasn't going to help the pain."
