I think that lyrica is a brand name for pregabalin? If so then I have tried it, it caused terrible drowsiness and did nothing for the pain unfortunately  I am going to the doctors tomorrow to discuss other options though. This will be my first trip to the GP since my diagnosis so hopefully things will start to fall into place.
Thank you for your support everyone, it is much appreciated xx |
Abigail~Hi! I am also new to this group and about 9 months into this diagnosis. I am also having a difficult time finding a doctor and trying to learn how to manage this illness. I often feel like I'm locked in a small room and every way I turn I run into a wall. I can't find a door and often it is very dark in here. I was referred to a new pain management doctor yesterday and will give him a try. Hope your appointment goes well and you get a sense of direction. Just wanted to introduce myself since we are both new. Mama Mac
