Allen,
I definitely think that the lyrica is working- especially for the allodynia. I've still been having a rough time. I think lyrica has been most helpful out of all of the meds that I take regularly. Have you tried it?? It is newer than neurontin, but just like it... I think it's better than neurontin, as I take both. I think it works well as a mood stabilizer too- like the anti depressants.
I sure know about tense muscles!! I'll be in bed and realize I am stiff and like a log, not relaxed and flopped there. I have been practicing with the muscle tenseness.
Thanks!

TY for the site too!
