Ask your doctor what he thinks of Lyrica for you. I have a friend who swears by it. My doctor also suggested it to me since fibro symptoms can accompany RA. (Very hard to sort them out since there is no test for Fibro - it is just a name for a collection of symptoms at this point.) I don't take the Lyrica, but you could learn a lot about it by searching it. Keep asking questions. Living with RA is a lot about learning. There is so much! to know. Hope you feel better soon, Kelly

I know everyone is different but Lyrica did nothing for me but make me blow up like I was on a steroid.  I too have RA and Fibro and take Lortab and the only little extra help I get is taking amitriptyline 25mg X 2 at bedtime.  I don't know why but it helps me get some sleep and I still work full time and it's sometimes is almost unbearable.  I'm 41 years old and was diagnosed at 29 so I mostly just go with the pain take what I can for pain and listen to people pass judgement because they think for some reason we like to take pain meds.  I know for myself i have so much pain the med does'nt even hardly phase me.  Good Luck and God Bless cause after all he is the one who gets us through our days.
