Hi what a ride,

The person who started this thread seems not to have returned in the last couple of years, and I am not knowledgeable about Lyrica, but it's too bad you've had such bad luck with neurologists.

I've had MS since the late 1970s (diagnosed in 1980) and have been to quite a few neuros over the years. I myself am on neuro #5 or 6 but was also sent to a few others by Social Security in connection with filing for SSDI disability benefits.

I ran into several arrogant, dismissive and uninformed neuros but I've also had several who were adequate. Some may be in it for the money--neurologists are among the more highly paid doctors, I think--and some are definitely too cozy with the drug companies but there are those who are doing a conscientious job and who take the time needed to get to know their patients.

Hope you won't give up on them.
