A Visit to the Pain Clinic

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Yesterday I went to the pain clinic.  I was referred to get acupunture which is good because it has helped in the past.  I was also advised that Lyrica might help but I’m not particularly keen to go on any more drugs, I’m already on three and they don’t really know how they all interact let alone four.  Plus I’ve had terrible weight gain from the ones I’m on and don’t want to add to it.  The doctor didn’t really give me much of an idea as to what else they’re going to try if anything, and it was a bit confusing.  It’s also becoming clear that not very much is known about Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.  So I suppose I shouldn’t expect too much in the way of help.
