I've had some fairly impressive neurological pain over the weekend. (I'm in a flaming flare from Hell, and I know this isnt the worst that it can get...just the worst I've experienced yet)
I have a Lyrica prescription, I just havent filled it because of the cost. (It wasnt even prescribed for this flare, but for a bad case of tennis elbow and a minor flare in my left arm last fall)
I may have to fill that Rx tomorrow.

I was given it for nerve pain which is really overall my whole body. I get a lot of sharp pin stabs and intense tingling. Also I have deep muscle pain in my back and it actually helps with that as well.
You know I really didn't realize how much worse those sx had gotten until I went without the Lyrica for a few days. So I have really learned to appreciate the med. And I'm not a person who likes to depend on them...but have decided if they work, why not been somewhat more comfortable.
When I first started on it it was just 50 mg once at bedtime. But a couple months ago he increased it to 100mg twice a day.
what kind of neurological pain are you experiencing? It's not fun
and I hope you can get some relief soon.
