Mar 16, 2008, Fibromyalgia and the controversy over Lyrica
March 16, 2008--The FDA's recent approval of the drug Lyrica for the treatment of fibromyalgia has added another dimension to the controversy among medical professionals over how to treat the disease. In fact, the biggest question seems to be whether fibromyalgia should even be labeled as a legitimate medical condition. A recent article in the New York Times (January 14, 2008) points out that "...[some] doctors — including the one who wrote the 1990 paper that defined fibromyalgia but who has since changed his mind — say that the disease does not exist and that Lyrica and the other drugs will be taken by millions of people who do not need them." See our "Medical News" page for more details.
