Hi. I'm currently on the hunt for better meds and I wonder if Lyrica is not for you or maybe you need a combo? I'm really sorry again and you know I was thinking its such a hard call on issues like this or other problems where there are risks to trying to get better. Its switching one issue for another. I had recommend a book that I think may be helpful for you call nutrients for neuropathy . My friend I was inpatient with was thinking too of this surgery but feared many of the side effects and I could understand why and the more I hear too. On a side note are you able to eat actual food properly now? I don't know with the injections but I know that its very important to also fuel with food so that nutrients can absorb from supplments. I may be wrong but what I was told. Stay strong and I give you a lot of credit for working hard too.
