I hate fibro, and lyrica!!! I tried that one about 2 years ago, did nothing. A friend of mine from Texas was on that for her fibro and she gained 72 pounds! She wasn't eating any different, it's a side effect She was having so much trouble with her legs from all the extra weight. She went on a diet and ate almost fish, wild rice and raw veggies every day. She said she was starting to smell like a fish she ate so much!

I'm happy to say, she's off the Lyrica, when she and her Dr weighed the side effects and her health and pain, it wasn't worth it and he put her on stronger pain meds instead. She's also lost all the weight, plus and additional 8 pounds!

Make sure you understand all the side effects first Lynn, it may not be worth it. That stuff plays with your brain too. It is meant for people who have sever epilepsy, but some people with fibro finds it works for them too. Never worked for me.

I'm sorry that it wasn't just a filling, would have been such an easy answer compaired to what the choices are now. I hope the pain goes away soon hon. TMJ is so very painful.

for you my friend

Oh, Holly, my Friend, thank you so much for your sweet concern. I'm truly afraid of Lyrica or any of the other meds for Fibromyalgia and TMJ....although, truth be told, Hon...I hate dental issues as much as I hate fibro! I'm truly reticent to go on any of those meds, so if he can prescribe a stronger pain med for those days when the pain is doing its worst, then I'll do that, rather than those other medications. And lordy! After losing 50lbs....!!!?? If I wasn't already scared to take them, you're telling me about your friends weight-gain would have done it! haha!!
Thank you, Hon...I'm sorry we find ourselves in the same rocky boat, and I hope that you're finding relief from your pain.

Natalka....you're so right about that jaw pain...it feels as if every tooth on that side of one's face is abscessing! But of course, they're not...it's just how it feels. And as for tinitus...it's my constant friend...lol...it really doesn't bother me..I just consider it birds chirping in my ears! Of course, when it gets so loud I can't hear a conversation properly, it irks me.

Laeticia, your tree is so sweet...I can almost smell it from here. I wish we could have a real one, but I'd be sneezing and wheezing with a real tree in the house. But mmmm...the smell of evergreen....

Good night, everyone...sweet dreams....

[LovelyLaeticia]

Good Morning all! Hope everybody is feeling better this morning! We are all worse, quiet day of hanging out on the futon watching Toopy and Binoo I imagine!

[Natalka]

Big hugs for you Abby - you are going through so much, for so long!

Found this just now when I was looking for mass weddings happening in Asia - it's a live webcam of weddings in Gretna Green (where lots of people from England go, just over the border to Scotland, where they can marry quickly)

There was a bride there just a few moments ago, don't know if she was coming or going...

Natalka, that's so cool!! I've performed one wedding where a lap-top web-cam was set up for the bride's brother to see her wedding since he couldn't make it into town for it....the things that can be done these days!!!!

Mornin' everyone!
Abby, poor you..I'm sure you've tried everything, but have you sipped pure honey slowly down your throat? I've gotten relief from bad sore throats the bacterial-fighting honey (not sure if you're is viral?)....our DD has been home the past 2 days with a very sore throat, but has to drag herself into work today to meet with clients, poor kid. I hope you're over that soon, Hon!!

As for me....I have an outdoor wedding to perform, then a planning meeting for another couple I'm marrying this month...-6 is a little chilly to be on top of a hill doing a wedding, but...it's a "short and sweet" one, thank heavens!!

Have a lovely day, everyone! Hugs...Lynn

I adore the idea of an outdoor winter wedding... but I would never do it because I can't handle the cold LOL. I bet it will be beautiful though!

[Natalka]

I used to dream of a winter wedding outside, with it snowing softly - most important, of course, would have been wearing a fur cloak. But, no, we got married on the hottest day in the summer!
