So sorry, Bulliemom, to hear that the Lyrica success is possibly short-lived. I am still hanging in here with the Trileptal. I am now having some significant pain-free moments. My primary-care physician agrees that I need to give the higher dosage (150 mg 3X daily) more time.

Now, I don't know about the hand and feet problem. Aren't these neurological problems frustrating?! Even neurologists have trouble teasing out the cause.....I also have fibromyalgia. Did I already mention that in this post? (Gee, I've got too many posts in too many places.) My orthopedist was attributing the tingling, etc, in my back, hands, and feet partly to that. So, I'm not sure how or if it's all related. Okay?
