Hi N1
What is your underlying disease that is causing the cramping and pulling of muscles?
You mentioned joint pains too. A lot of autoimmune diseases causes jointpains.

The Plaquinil did not help much. ( the plaquinil takes months to take effect. I was on it for 6 months when we switched to Methatrexate. I think the Methatrexate has been helping some. During flare ups, the Prednisone helped me.
But the Lyrica helpes as a pain reliever only, and makes the burning pain less.
I will be seeing a new neurologist en 2 weeks, that a lical support group recomended. I think he will be a little more aggresive as far as the neuropathy symptoms goes. This doctor is a NEUROMUSCULAR SPECIALIST, so I am thinking this make sense as far as the cramping of muscles.
I hope you get answers to your symptoms soon
