New Fibromyalgia Diagnosis
Hi all,
I've suspected fibromyalgia and/or chronic fatigue syndrome for years, but I was in a cycle of seeing other doctors (i.e., not rheumatologists) for many other diagnoses (IBS, IC, endometriosis, etc.). Finally saw my first rheumatologist yesterday and he confirmed the fibromyalgia diagnosis. He started me on Lyrica, so I took the first pill last night. I am also on the highest dose of Wellbutrin (450 mg) and lowest dose of Pristiq (50 mg) for depression/anxiety.
I'm looking for some guidance and support as I begin this journey. I'm hopeful the aches and pains and extreme fatigue will ease up. I work and have 2 young children, and of course wifely and motherly duties. As my husband puts it, I'm a 32-year-old in the body of an 80-year-old. I can't be tired anymore!
Has anyone else been on Lyrica and Wellbutrin and/or Pristiq? I guess my biggest concern is weight gain, since the Wellbutrin really helps me manage/lose weight.
Kate
