24, London, Living with M.E & Fibromyalgia

[Jamesmac100]

I’m prescribed pregabalin for my fibromyalgia and it helps my brain fog so much. My brain fog usually used to happen when my body would shake with my M.E & Fibromyalgia would kick in, then the pain would hit me and my brain would get brain fog due to the confusion in my body/brain. The pregabalin really helped me out because it stopped my body getting the shakes and escalating to pain and brain fog. Now I just get exhausted from my M.E and get the occasional pain when I overwork my body, but this is so much better than feeling like I have to live a sheltered life. I know it might not work for everyone but for me it’s the best thing for me so far. I’ve also felt that tramadol is amazing if the pain is excruciating but i have bought a electronic massager to use before bed on strenuous days as well as biofreeze which both work very well. I hope this might help some people by telling my story.

Hi James I have no problem with pregabalin. I take for hereditary neuropathy and can't say I experience a foggy brain. Guess it depends on the dosage. I take 150mg mornings and 200mg evenings. Also find taking B12 helps. Hope this is helpful. Gigforgig
