I have also been taking tramadol for breakthrough pain and it works a treat.

Is your hypersensitive skin has improved?? Is it not bothering you now? And all this because of Lyrica?
WInter is also terrible for me because I need to wear heavy clothes.
My neurologist has been talking me into shifting from Gabapentin to Lyrica. I am have not been too receptive because I remember when I started with Gabapentin, I had very very negative thoughts! These two medicines are "cousins" so I am concerned that I might go through that same thought process and it was scary.
