Today, I have taken the last tablet of Lyrica. From tomorrow, I am off that medicine! It feels good, really really good! It almost took my life but the status of asthma has stabilized now - although it is not yet perfectly good (it takes time) but it is so much better anyway! It feels like a triumph to finally be in this state! My last day on Lyrica, woooow!!!!
It has been a slow process, quitting that medication, as it has been reduced by and by. Pain is back but usually not too bad to tolerate, and anyway I have been able to use quite strong pain killers that do not trigger asthma. They are not very many though or so it seems. One which was very good resulted in more than one doctor telling me that it can cause heart attacks, so I quitted that too.
What is bothering me most these days is fibro fog - I have it to some extend almost every day and it seems to be somewhere between me and the world. And the other thing that bothers is stiffness. Otherwise I am so much better than before..
I have been in a really bad state due to medication. I hope and pray I don't need to wittness anything like that anymore.

when I stopped 10 of my medications, I was surprised at how I felt. After the effects of stopping wore off, I wasn't feeling as bad as I was when I had 14 medications. Hope you feel better too!
Dear Heather, thank you so much for your comment! I am so happy to hear the good news from you! The sad tghing about medication is that in addition of the good effects, it ALWAYS has some side effects too, and often we fibromites are very sensitive to medication - so we are sensitive to the side effects too.
