Yeah I know what you're saying, going back to smoking pot is not really in pair with my professional and social life those days, but knowing well the substance I prefer to get high than keep suffering, I'll explore other options first, or just try it for the nighttime
Are you drinking any alcohol on lyrica? I read it's contradicted, I'm a big wine and craft beer drinker, I have no problem leaving it altogether as pain relief is way more important, but was wondering if glass or two can hurt after I get use to the med

Yeah I haven't smoked for many years, I think it is one of the best treatments for neuropathic pains, at least people with fibro rave about it. Problem is I have a data analysis job so smoking pot probably isn't a good idea.
The other medication that people says works is cymbalta, but I think lyrica is enough for me now otherwise I'll probably feel too out of it. I've been taking omega3 and vitamin d for months now. Something is working a bit anyway, going upstairs is a bit easier now. I learnt is that exercise a sensible amount is a good idea and I've cleaned up my diet recently.
