Pregabalin helps fibromyalgia by reducing pain by up to 25% and improving sleep and fatigue. Both pregabalin and duloxetine were originally developed to treat other conditions (epilepsy and depression, respectively), but they have also proven successful in reducing some of the physical and emotional symptoms of fibromyalgia. Many people with lupus have fibromyalgia in fact, much of the pain that people with lupus feel is due to this condition. As a result, the central nervous system (your brain and spinal cord) experiences an increased sensitivity to pain signals. Doctors do not currently know the cause of fibromyalgia, but it is believed that people with this condition have experienced a rewiring of pain pathways in the brain due to repeated nerve stimulation. Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder characterized by widespread pain and tenderness, general fatigue, and non-restful sleep. I really hope things improve for you and I would ask for additional help from Social Services to help the situation.Pregabalin (Lyrica), duloxetine (Cymbalta), and milnacipran HCl (Savella)are medications approved by the FDA for the treatment of fibromyalgia. He may also be crying out for attention and any attention, even if it is negative, is better than none at all. All our children want is their mum's, but without the fibro! He may possibly say he doesn't care as he has some anger and is not sure where or how to chanel it. Perhaps doing something regularly with them both as a family, even if it is sat down reading a book or something else that you can all focus on will give them something to look forward to. Unintentionally, I think we show and tell children too much and they have no idea how to process this information due to their young ages. I know when sometimes I am really poorly I can't do some of the things that my son wants me to do and you do feel guilty about it. Other than that, we spend a lot of quality time together after school and at weekends. I never spend any time in bed and always make sure the house is tidy and he has all his meals. I am a mum to a 6 year old and although he knows I have fibro I try to hide it from him as much as I can. ![]() ![]() Do you think that your son has too much responsibility? Put yourself in his shoes - his mummy is in bed a lot poorly, that can't do his confidence any good. ![]() Hi, I haven't been on here for a while but your blog really touched me. Hi to everyone.I have severe fibro and Iam a single parent with two boys,a 4 year old and a 10 year old.My fm is quite bad at the moment and I spend most of my days stuck at home and in and out of bed a lot,and not being able to take care of myself as my energy is used up taking care of my kids needs.Yesturday was a tough day as the week-ends often are.When my fm is bad as it often is most days now and I need to rest in my bed,my eldest son plays me up by fighting with his brother where there is a lot of shouting and screaming from my youngest.When it gets bad I intervene dependant on how bad energy levels are and my son gets sent to his room for a while.There are also times where my eldest constantly winds up his brother and sneaks food from the cupboard when Iam ill.I have had to ground him again as he also buys songs and games on the iPad and his phone behind my back and he urinated in the bath in front of my youngest son as he thought it was funny.Iam at my wits end with him as I don't know what else to do and the thing that hurts the most is that he dosent really care or have any respect for me,especially as Iam ill.There is so much more I can tell you of the things he has done,and when I tried to speak to him about my condition and asked how he felt about it he said he is not interested.This really hurts me and I told him that,he dosent seem to have any respect for me or anyone else.I have now said that he is grounded again and he is not even allowed to watch t.v now.This is making me feel so stressed and is adding to the symptoms that I already have.Please has anyone got any ideas or suggestions?x
