Also I cannot take Lyrica,it caused extreme swelling all over my body. I actually had to be hospitalized! This RSD is really starting to get to me! Also with all this going on,my Mom has less than 2-3 month's before she passes on from having Alzheimer's! She is at home with my Dad and lot's of care giver's. She is now on home hospice,she has a hospital bed set up in their dinning room. As of 4 days ago she is no longer taking any food's or liquid's! Please your prayer's would be helpfull!  Love To all!

HI Breezy55,
So,so sorry about your mom. We are also dealing with my grandmother and Alzheimer's. It a relentless disease. I will pray for her.
I had the same problem with the Lyrica, gained 70lbs, have lost 30 of it but it is so hard.
I also had the same problem with my teeth and also prescribed SF 5000 and also a medication in pill form that would bring the saliva back to my mouth so it would not be so dry. Sorry it was a while ago and I forget the name but do remember it began with an "R". On a positive side since I have decreased my medications since my ketamine infusions I don't have the problem with my teeth anymore. How it was explained to me is that many medications dry out your mouth which causes decay. It has nothing to do with any many times a day you brush your teeth, it's the dryness. My dentist said the saliva helps keep the decay away. I hope this helps.
