aka Ditz Alert.
I have doubled my dose of Lyrica starting last night. I’m not noticing a huge difference, but I didn’t drive William to school this morning because I was concerned about my ability to drive. Don’t need to be running over a bunch of high school kids first thing in the morning, no we don’t.
Hard to describe how it’s making me feel. Slightly dizzy, slightly buzzed, kind of all over fuzzy. Kind of numb. I’m hoping I get used to this, or I’m going to be friggin’ useless. I was talking to Brian about starting the business back up before long, and then I realized that I am in absolutely no condition to teach, or diagnose computer problems. My thinking processes have become seriously impaired. I don’t know how much of it is the fibro fog, and how much of it is the Lyrica, but I have difficulties completing sentences. When I type, I seem to be ok, except for the bajillion typos. My fingers miss the keys they’re supposed to hit, and I’m hitting the backspace key a whole lot more than normal.
It seems to be easier to write, though. I just let whatever’s in my brain come out. More entertaining for you, I hope. I have noticed that my blog posts have become kind of a “stream of conciousness” kind of thing. I don’t know if that is making my writing better or worse, but that’s what you’re going to get. 
I have managed to get my chores done this morning, dishes and laundry are currently washing in their respective machines. I still have to clean the litterboxes, but I’m putting that off because I just hate doing it. I would love one of those auto-cleaning litterboxes, but with so many cats I’d have to get five of them. With my luck, the cats would hate them.
I seem to have run out of topics to ramble about, but I’ll probably post more later today. With pictures, maybe. Tell me what you want to see, I’ll go take a picture of it. With the good camera, even.

I think you need to give it time. Not fun, but with all of these meds, time seems to be a big factor. My plaquenil takes 6 months to “work” and that sucked–so I am sure this won’t take that long. I remember feeling like that when I started on neurontin, so hang in there!
Thanks for the encouragement! The plus side is that this stuff has removed most of the pain. I think I’ll trade ditzyness for pain any day.
