Vegetarian and prescription drugs??? Are there any vegetarian treatments for fibromyalgia?
So, I am a vegetarian, have been a long time, (and am recently trying to transition into becoming a vegan). So, my rheumatologist presrcibes me lyrica, to treat fibromyalgia. In the meantime, they are doing bloodwork to check for autoimmune problems....anyway, I tell them that the lyrica, is not vegetarian (gelatin). And she says some of my other meds aren't either. The only other I take is topamax (for migraines) which she says has stearic acid, which isn't vegetarian either. Which I looked up and will have to stop taking this, stearic acid, that is.
So, she says that the meds for fibromyalgia are not going to be vegetarian, and my alternative is pilates, yoga, etc. Which I do, but not very often. Are there NO vegetarian or vegan treatments for fibromyalgia, or headaches/migraines?? Really?

1. I was a vedgie for about 2 years. Then i relised taking pills isnt as powerful as the real proteen in mean and proteen substanses you should se a por or doctor2. Go to a web site (www.sharpweblabs.com) they have all kinds of generic drugs for vegetarians to help what ever ails you.
3. I also have fibromyalgia and recently discovered a website (www.e-tyh.com) that sells natural supplements for fibromyalgia/chronic pain. There is one called Fibro Care Cal that I have been taking, but I don't know if they're vegan. It's worth looking up, though.
