Lyrica has been known to put weight on women -- it's one of the side effects.
Lowering the dose will lose the effectiveness.
Switching to an antiseizure med may help but may not. There are a few available.
Lyrica is effective, as you've proven. I feel it is more important to treat your pain, and to find other means to keep the weight off, then live in pain and 'float like a butterfly.'
That's my opinion, but I deal with pain.
Which then resulted into chronic kidney stones and type 2 diabetes. The best way to support your spouse is not to play the blame game or make him feel guilty at all. Support him by cooking him healthy meals and eating them with him. Remove the temptations and avoid things that can spike his sugar levels. Not all of us eat ourselves into a diabetic frenzy. If he hates to exercise, even the smallest amount like a 30 min walk a day makes a big difference. I hate being a diabetic.
I found out a couple weeks ago that I have Gestational Diabetes. I'm having a pretty difficult time with this. I'm sticking to the diet for the most part but all I want are sweats.

t say what you are doing to treat your diabetes? You need to learn to reduce your carbs, get exercise and you should be on oral medications. Yes, losing all that extra weight is crucial to controlling your diabetes. But crash dieting is not healthy for anyone and in the case of a diabetic can be dangerous.
All tests are indicators but they help the doctors determine the best approach as to treat, or not to treat a patient. In your case since you feel you may be prediabetic, along with not having your glucose tested for years, it's time you saw your doctor.

I agree, take care of the cancer first, let your cancer docs know you have hepc, but it shouldn't make any difference in treatment. The hepc treatment can wait. Do treat the diabetes asap also, if you have that under control it will help you recover better from the other two. Good luck!
My eye doctor today told me that my vision problems are due to diabetes. I told him that I have never been diagnosed with diabetes by a medical doctor. I had fasting labs done a few months ago because of hypothyroid. My blood glucose at that time was 102mg/dl. Is that high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes? I already have another appointment for fasting labs next month.
I thought I would get a jump start on changing my eating habits but I can't figure out what I can eat.
