I have a glass of wine...is it that? Is it going off the Lyrica for three days? Is it even PN? Is it just pain from a stump neuroma on both feet? My poor poor wife....I don't blame her one bit for bonking me on the head with all my....I wonder if it is this....or this...or that? The process of elimination just doesn't seem to work. Arrrgh!

Some drugs cause rebound if they're discontinued. Like Lyrica and Neurontin. And, yes, for some people alcohol in any amount can trigger a flare of symptoms. Stress can trigger symptoms. I've been having a symptom flare over the past week or so. I've actually had a night where I had to get out of bed. Couldn't sleep at all and I hadn't had one of those nights in well over a year at least. The roller coaster can be disheartening at times that's for sure.
