Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 Kaylene, I really hope that one of your doctors is willing to prescribe Lyrica for you. I've been taking it for almost 2 months now, and there is a definite big improvement in my neuropathy, and even my Fibro pain. At first, I thought it was making me have stomach problems, but it ended up that I had a very bad stomach bug. I was on Topamax for the longest time, and thought it was doing a fairly decent job of helping to control the pain, but Lyrica is WAY better. I have pretty widespread idiopathic neuropathy on top of having Fibro, chronic tendonitis, and sacroiliitis, and before I started on Lyrica, I was taking 10mg of Oxycontin every 6 hours, and even at that close of dosing the last hour and a half before the next dose was hell. Now, I take maybe one to two doses a day tops. I'm even thinking of attempting to go off of some of my other meds, with Plaquenil being at the top of my list. So good luck with your quest for Lyrica! I hope you are successful! All my best, Jen Quote
