LM pinkerton, to piggy back on your doubling comment the reason I didn't go up in dosage whe the effectiveness waned was because I knew that the dosage I was at was my functional limit. Anything more I would have to turn in my keys.

It may come to that at some point. I wasn't ready then and then when I discovered that smart had and "a" not a "u", well I had to try a different path.

I've navigated as a vegan for almost two years, which if I think about long enough seems preposterous. But I'm really willing to try anything that is not too absurd too deal with the symptoms.

I've never had the urge to bungie jump or sky dive, but if a scientific study or enough compelling anecdotal evidence was presented that showed they gave temporary relief, strap me in I'm going for a ride!

Lyrica praise- I think it is the reason I limped around like a gun shot victim from Wayne Westerns when I had shingles instead of you know, like a real gun shot victim. It's the only thing I can imagine.

It was hard adjusting to what my pn really was right after coming off Lyrica, though I also came to feel that dampening of my nerves worked against me as I just pushed that extra bit further than I should have.

End of addendum to my Lyrica experience for now,

Jon
