neuropathy was taking from me
by: Tammy on Tue, Nov 25 2008

For five years I was in pain, depressed and hopeless. I had been on so many meds that I can’t possibly remember them or all the many doctors. One day I had just decided that I needed to change doctors. I called a neurology clinic and made an appointment.

My new doctor put me on Lyrica after two weeks I called him and told him its not working. He told me to take 100mg more and call him in two weeks. I have my life back, no longer am I in pain, awake all night and limited to little movement. I walk my dogs, play volleyball with my kids and sleep all night. Tammy
