I've had Lupus for 20 years and (diagnosed) fibro for the past 10, although I feel I've had it longer.

When I had my Tabby it was okay if I didn't feel up to playing because my cat was independent; as long as the food bowl was full and there was a warm sunny place to nap he was fine.

But dogs are different; they need walks and to be able to run around. And Prince loves attention - ALOT of attention all the time. The days I have to stay in bed are the times when the guilt kicks in.

I was taking Lyrica (forgot the dosage) but my insurance stopped paying for it so I take Gabapentin but it's not as good. I'm looking to try Sevilla and see how that works.
