I've been on Lyrica since February 08 and have experienced vision loss. My eyes get really tired and burn; I also have issues with seeing things clearly. I just went for my vision test and the doc said my vision is only slightly worse; which I don't understand. Wondering if its something in my brain that I have these issues??!! I went to a regular optomotrist and he did a very thorough exam and he said the slight vision loss wasn't from fibro (but what does he know).
Hope this helps!

Have you ever been tested for Sjogren's Syndrome? It really sounds like you may have it. Classic symptoms are dry mouth and dry eyes. Although the disease can affect all the glands in your body by drying them out and your joints. I was diagnosed via Lip Biopsy. It sounds worse than it is. It is actually taking a small gland out from under your tongue, on the bottom of your mouth.
I just wanted you to know this in case you have never heard of it before. I hope it helps you some.
Sjogren's is a common secondary disease to most of the Autoimmune diseases and RA.

I haven't had any symptom yet, my RHEUMATOLOGIST AND EYE DOCTOR both do explained to me that this can be cause by Lyrica. That's why they recommended to get check every six months my eyes with the eye Doctor and so far I haven't had any problem yet, Thank God!! before I had a severe pain, and ache, stiffness on my knees, back of my neck, feet etc and so far Lyrica helps me a bit more, no 100% but better than nothing, I can function a bit better, sitll get tired and exhausted, can't walk too much, but I do always try everyday. You know I am young 31 and I do think any age always should try the best everyday, because if you do not do it, we can start falling down so quick.
to you and everybody and let's keep in touch
