    Hey Its kimberly, im not sure if you remember me but i talked to you awhile back. You had told me that your son lived in Seattle which is where im from. :) maybe that will remind  you!!

     

    Anyway, i remembered you the most as i dont get alot of time to be on this site with my job and being so busy with life itself. My pain started to subside for a bit (or maybe i was too busy to really pain attention how bad it was)  but as it started to get worse and worse i decided to finally go back in and see if there is another type of treatment i can start. I did join a support group with my boyfriends mom about a month ago that has really helped us get out some of the issues that we have with taking narcotics and not wanting to get to that point that you start to rely on them. It also helps to hear some of the people your sitting next too talk about how they are so addicted to them that they cant even imagine living without them. I dont want to get like that and it helps me to not want to even think about being like that.

     

    Either way my doc put me on Lyrica, which we all know what that is for. I have been taking it for about 4 weeks now which im not sure is long enough to give my opinion yet but it really seems to be working for me. I dont feel like i need to get up and take a pain pill every 4 hours. Its helping me focus on life, my boyfriend, having a life again outside of work and being able too!!!!! I wanted to know if you knew anyone on this site (or yourself) that has been taking this medicagtion?? any of you out there??? i might do a new post about it and see what people have to say about it.

     

    Anyway, hope all is well with you. Take care and i hope to hear from you soon.

    -Kim

    Well Hello there Ms. Kimberly

    Good to  hear from you again. 

    Wow, that's really great that your having such good success with the Lyrica.  I think there are many members here that take the same med and also there may be others who have more questions, so  a new sharepost by you would be great and I would look forward to reading others comments and questions too.

    Yes, my son is still living in Seattle, he's finally got his exceptance to the Uof W pharmacy school, so we are all very excited & proud of him.  I have to laugh, I will be calling him doctor in only about 4 years.  lol

    He & I talked about it last week when he was home on spring break and both had a good laugh.  He was talking about how bad it bugs him that other people require everyone to call them doctor and how he would never do that.  We still got a laugh.  Seems just yesterday he was home here with me.

    What a great idea for you & boyfriends mom to join a support group.  I really find it helpful to have a support system set up around me.

    You take Care and stop by when your able

    Betty
