Hello everyone I appreciate your opinions. I am to see my Doctor on Friday. I still feel swollen in my face, and ankles. The hives are not any worse. I did take my dose as usual, and unless my symptoms get worse I'll continue until I consult with my Doctor. I delayed taking it this am, but as the burning and pain got worse I took my regular doseage. Vicc your post was amazing , so very informative, Thankyou. Hi Dealingwithtos I tried Lyrica and in my experience only, I didn't like it. I find gabapentin works better for the burning and stabbing pain. I hope you get some relief with it. Thankyou all for posting, I'll be fine but I will talk to my Doctor about it this week.
