What Causes Persistent Body Pain Despite Taking Lyrica For Fibromyalgia?
I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and am taking lyrica. At first it seemed to help but i now seem to be getting worse. I have continuous pain, tingling extremeties and feet and sleep all the time. I alo have all the symptoms of MS but have not been tested. What kind of Doctor should i see to determine if this is MS?

Fibromyalgia is chronic inflammatory condition. There is no cure for the condition. Lyrica may help alleviate symptoms. You could discuss options with your doctor about other treatment aspects like cymbalta/ Savella etc. you could try physical therapy and yoga. there have been research with use of medical marijuana with excellent results.
To diagnose MS, you need to visit a neurologist. Hope i have answered your questions
