I am really happy for you, happy that you have found something to work well with your pain. If I only can ask you to please make sure you pay attention to any (even if it seems small) detail that could be caused by the side effects. Particularly depression increases, thoughts of suicide, and (one thing I experienced) a layer of my taste buds went missing off of my tongue. All I could say is what looked like the shape of a penny flattened out into those oval shapes. (you know the ones, we put a penny in a machine and they flatten them in an oval shape) That is what my tongue looked like, had no idea it was connected to the Lyrica until I came off of it due to serious depresssion and suicidal thoughts. After some days of being off of it, my tongue healed itself. Thankfully.
But we all know that meds work differently for different people. So if this works great for you, then congrats. Hopefully you will be able to have some painfree days in your life. That is great.
