Advice please

Hello all - been diagnosed with hashimotos disease and chronic fatigue - dr suspect I also have fibromyalgia - had some blood tests done which resulted in ANA, dsDNA and ENA abs absent - vitamin d 132 and cortisol normal at 202 and calcium Normal. I wasn't given any ranges. Anyone know what the optimal range should be for vitamin d and cortisol before I go see My GP? Have been put on b12 loading doses for 10 weeks to then self inject with hydrooxcobalamin b12 and pregabalin increasing from

25mg to 300mg incrementally. I'm in completely over My head and am hoping one of you will be able To Decipher this for me and advise. Thankyou.

Keep notes of side effects experienced with pregabalin as these can be bad and also mimic fibromyalgia. Discuss them with your Dr. I took 300mg twice daily and have now weaned myself off them totally. My doc said that Pregabalin is one of worst drugs on market for side effects but it gets prescribed because of low cost.

I thought Drs were not supposed to be dispensing pregabalin now due to misuse.
