oh how i feel for you
it was prescribed to me
for fibromyalgia
forgot the mg but do
remember 4 tablets was
the magic number
until
the extreme side effects
palpitations
blisters in my mouth
hands and feet skin changes
including nail beds both hands and feet
as a matter of fact
when i stopped lyrica all of my nails
had a indentation in it
my ten figures and toes

here is the thing
it is around the time
i became a member of this awesome forum
lyrica was not yet labeled
still fresh on the market
point
on one of my visits
i told him there was a indescribable high sensation
he did not take me seriously
and insinuated i not follow my pain specialist
so to make myself clear
to date
i am on pain meds as a result of a
botched second surgery as i did not fuse
the first time around
so back to my meds
pain meds for the mechanical pain
unable to takezero meds for nerve related pains
lyrica is a drug my daughter is still on it to date
for her epilepsy
and i must tell all people this
if my daughter should miss her one of her doses
she is in immediately thrown into withdrawal
as much as it is a devil drug it helps her
and other than skin changes around her nails
it is a must for her
as we have independent reasons
and i gave my doctor a good piece of my mind
make no mistakes
i feel for you
anything
such as a beautiful scent in your home
cold and warm packs
use frozen peas
or put dried lentils in freezer as a cold pack bagged
dim lights
cold water at side of your bed

i feel for anyone going through withdrawal and not to
help the patient lesson the pain
love me
Eva,
Thanks for the reminder about aromatherapy at home. I had forgotten about that and it does help to calm/soothe your brain. What works for me is putting cinnamon in boiling water or lavender or peppermint oil.
My best to you,
Diandra
