You asked if the lecturer spoke about PN pain being central??

Believe me, when she started talking about Pre-frontal cortexes and the Thalmus , etc. that's when I had to really struggle and comprehend what she was saying.

From what I observed, these 20 or so people at the meeting, wanted to know if there is a cure on the horizon. They couldn't care less about pre-frontal cortexes. These were people who used canes and walkers and moved very slowly. These were people who, when they went on neurontin, got so drowsy, they had to get off of it.

One guy had narcolepsy and he still drives. He is on neurontin and lyrica.

There was a really skinny lady there who had just gained 20 lbs in 2 weeks on lyrica. And she was skill skinny.

Can you imagine my doctor telling me "Melody, you need to go on Lyrica". I would give him such a look.
