Thanks also for addressing the side effects of Lyrica. That's good to hear. Unfortunately, my brain is my meal ticket more than in most jobs, so I have to be careful and try to maintain optimal cognitive function, and as things stand for a few years now I've felt cognitive decline, which is troubling. I'm hoping to reverse that, but perhaps that's too optimistic.
