Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Dear Sandy: This is my lyrica story. I have chronic foot pain (nerve injury) I also have a whiplash that has started fibro?? Anyway as you may know, all people are different and tolerate things so differently that it is hard to tell you, yes take the lyrica. But the way I feel is, if you are not doing well on your current medications, try the lyrica. I started with 75mg per day, for three days, and increased the dosage in 3 day intervals until I got to 225mg in the am, and 225mg at bedtime. It has helped my sleeping a lot. I still get up anywhere from 4am -6am because of pain in my neck, shoulders and mid back. My foot has improved I would say 30% better. (I'll take it) As far as side effects, I still have some but over time they get better. I do not know if I have helped you are not. I pray that you soon find relief and are doing better. I know you must have some dark days and I only pray that God will put his healing hand on you. Sincerely Penny B.
