Pfizer Lyrica Review

For the 8yrs before I started taking this medication I had to use a cane everyday. Every single day. I am now only 41yrs old. I have had 6 spine surgeries & in the last year I was finally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. This is a crippling disease! Lyrica has enabled me to have more days with less pain. Yes, there are still really bad days. But they are not as frequent. The one side effect that we did not expect was the significant jump in my blood sugar. I was not even "Pre-Diabetic" before taking this medication. As we increased the dosage (called titrating) my blood sugar crept up as well. When we realized what ws happening, my Dr. wanted me to stop taking Lyrica altogether! I told him that he could have it back after I was dead. I meant it too. I am now able to attend our sons baseball games & swim meets without having to rely on the use of a cane. Sure there are plus & minuses with any medication. I just think that for me, the pluses outweighed the minuses.
