thanks guys or should i say gals ... anyway thanks for being so understanding and supportive ... my doctor is treating this at this time but if it gets worse or out of his control he will send me to a rheum. at the moment he feels he can treat this and save us money at the same time ... i started the lyrica 2 weeks ago and i increase today to 2 tablets .... i am hoping that this works to relieve the pain that seems to hit about mid morning ... frank says i seem to be sleeping better, not jerking as much as i use to ... still, i can't remember a day with no pain doubt i will either ... just want it tolerable so i can take care of frank and the house as i should ... anyone got a magic wand???
