Desparate for relief, taking everything, had reaction that left me freezing and running temp over 101, for about 6 hours. I commonly switch back and forth between Lyrica and Gabapentin about every other week, 6 pills a day. But enough about me. Many here are worse-off than I am. Just wanted to see if I could get a Smile out of someone this April Fools Day. |
Not many of us are worse off than you, Eddie, five days in bed! That is horrible. Has your doctor talked about pain management? You should be able to get something that will reduce the pain and give you some of your life back. Severe cases of PN need a good pain medicine in addition to Gabapentin or Lyrica, as well as an anti- depressant. Have they tried anything else to help you? Gabapentin/Lyrica is not a pain medication, it can reduce some symptoms but is not enough in many cases.
