Does Anyone Else Suffer Weight Issues Due To Medication?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi, I have been on Lyrica for about 6 months and have put on about 12 kgs. The problem is it is mostly around my middle section and added to the chronic pain it is getting me down. Has anyone else experienced weight gain while on Lyrica and how do you combat it. Really need to be able to lose some of this weight as the extra kgs are making my back pain worse.

Has Anyone Had Nerves In The Back Severed Or Burned? My Dr, Wants Me To. DOES IT WORK?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have AR and nerves in spine, one pinched in upper back makes hands numb which I also have AR in them. I also have bone spurs. My Dr, refuses to give pain meds. Shots in back did nothing. If you had this done please tell me if I should or not have it done. I have used every rub out. Does not help. Even hemp oil. Drugs have destroyed help for those who need them. Dr, said not allowed to. Does anyone know of anything that helps? God Bless.

Do You Feel Like You Are Just In The Way?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone feel like all you do is get in the way and slow everyone else down? As though everyone wants to get somewhere yesterday and you can't do so until tomorrow and so they are all ready and waiting at the door and you sometimes just end up passing on the trip, or activity, because you are still trying to get on your shoes and coat, so to speak.

How Are Y’all Coping?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

My chronic pain is relatively new and it has disrupted my life a great deal. It’s ruined relationships and it’s taken great effect on my emotional and mental wellbeing. How are you guys getting through it? No one in my family seems to understand especially since I’m only 19. I feel so alone and just don’t know what to do

How Do You Keep Your House Clean?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

Being in constant pain, even with pain pills, I have found it impossible to keep my house clean which drives me absolutely crazy,. I used to have the cleanest house, so clean my sister asked me if I was living in a model home!

I live in Springfield,MO (misery) USA and was wondering if anyone had found any resources. I do not qualify for Medicare, because I own my home.

Any suggestions?

I'm just the opposite I take 300mg twice a day. And I get lethargic with out them.
Lyrica has the same properties but 4x as expensive. But I think meds affect individuals differently. 🤔
