I'm in your neighborhood, living in Mesa, AZ (super-suburb of Phoenix). I'm happy to hear that Lyrica is working well for you. It also appears to work fairly well for my mom and sister, too. Unfortunately, I actually had a lot MORE pain when I tried it. I'm now on Cymbalta, which seemed to work very well at first, but it's effects seem to be fading now. Strangely, my mom and sister didn't do well on Cymbalta. They had more pain, like I did on the Lyrica. Wierd, huh. I hope you continue to do well.
Sincerely, Tonya P.S.-My mom and I live together and between us we have 7 cats. Five are mine and my daughter's and 2 belong to my mom. Don't know what I'd do without their crazy antics that make me laugh and the comfort they provide when I'm feeling down.

Hi Judith You come across as a very strong and positive person and I wish we didn't live at the opposite ends of the world cos I know we would get on very well.
I have vowed never to work for financial gain and want to raise money for charities especially for Fibromyalgia.
I too adore animals and have recently aquired an amazing kitten - she is my soulmate. She and her four brothers and sisters had been tossed in a field and left to fend for themselves. My only regret is that I did not take them all from the animal rescue shelter. I want to help them loads.
I believe the secret to coping with Fibromyalgia is staying happy - quite hard sometimes but if you are mentally focused its easy.
By the way, love the idea of free home help, but dont think it is available in England!!
Kindest regards Lillyann

I totally agree about pets. I myself have cats and they're just such wonderful company. They remind us of the beauty in this world and that it's alright to 'just be'. In today's fast, stressful world, they are an absolute blessing.
