I am in soo much pain. Last month I started a new medication called Lyrica. If you watch TV (and you are in the USA), you know that it's used for fibromyalgia. I have many symptoms for that, but I don't have the 'tender spots' that generally go with it. I had been on Gapapentin but 1) it ballooooned me in weight 2) it gave me the worst brain fog and 3) it didn't help my pain. it helped other thigns like tingling, and when i was recovering from surgery last year, i had the worst burning nerve pain and it helped me then! But not for the pelvic pain I have now. Last month, before I started Lyrica, my pain was astronomically bad. Way worse than other pain spells!!! My pain medication (oxycodone) did not help ONE bit. Out of desperation, I took more than my dose said- nothing. And for you freaks who make me feel like an addict when I talk about taking oxycodone- I took 2 5 mg pills every 2 hours for 6 hours (I generally would take 2 every 4-6 hours , with ONe pill e
