Cyclelops, I could never tolerate the higher dosages of neurontin. After trying several times, I have scratched it off the list. Lyrica was also a no go... Both made me wacky and gave me edema. I looked like I had elephantitis. I have been taking AND tolerating Savella. It seems to be working. I think. I was doing better until I got a huge arthritis/autoimmune flare a week and half ago. My wrists, hands and fingers are now extremely painful and swollen. Rheumy tol me it is causing some carpal tunnel in right hand. Kind of sucks since everything requires use of HANDS. Damnit.
I went to Rheumy, he upped Humira to weekly, put me on a pred. pulse and did labs for about the hundredth time... I am sure inflammation is there but I wonder about the other things? We will see.
I hope you feel better. Oh I can type with the hunt and peck method for now.
