Lyrica helped my fibro, but my brain got fuzzy, so I stopped taking it. I'm taking Gabapentin. It doesn't work as well, but I don't get the fuzzies.

dalelynn21 According to my doctor it's what they used before Lyrica came along. It helps take the edge off for me, but I'm going to talk to the doctor about upping the dose.

dalelynn21 I don't get the fuzzies on the gabapentin. It may affect you differently than it does me, but it's certainly worth a try.

dalelynn21 I am taking 300 mg once a day. I'll talk to my doctor about upping the dose. I haven't tried massage or tapping. Both sound very interesting. Thank you for your input.

dalelynn21 It depends on the child. My 2 youngest were a piece of cake after the 3 oldest. The oldest is a girl and she was difficult beyond her teens. The oldest boy started coming out of the worst of it after he turned 16. My middle child, a girl, didn't come out of it...

dalelynn21 I have always used the library. In fact I've been known to go more than once in a week. I have library withdrawal if I don't go often. I read so many books that it would cost a fortune if I bought every book I've read.

dalelynn21 Procrastination seems to be the biggest problem for me. Once started I can keep going to the end. I belong to Helium, but I haven't been back for a while. The idea of assignments appeals to me. I haven't looked into Associated Content yet, but I plan to.

dalelynn21 My favorite author is Andre Norton because her Beast Master is the first science fiction book I read. I believe I was 12 or 13 when I discovered her books. In fact I have almost all of her books. There are some, like Zarthor's Bane, that I don't like, but for...
