Living with fibro

[Jubellie1]

I am 55yrs of age @ had fibro confirmed 2yrs ago. I also have severe Gout (16yrs). Which complicates things. I gave up work last September as I just couldn't get motivated. I went to my doctors n was given meds to take. Now on 'Sertaline' as well as Naproxen, Febroxustat, Pregabalin, Lansaprazole, laxido & Paracetamol.

Sorry to hear this. I have stopped taking Pregabalin for my Fibro as it was affecting my memory. However taking paracetamol and Ibuprofen helped with my Fibro.

I have the 'Brain fog' a lot of the time but not sure this is just the meds or a combination of the meds plus the condition.

Have you researched the role of Vit D in gout and autoimmune disorders?
