Hi my name is krystine i am 22 years old and was recently diagnosed with mp. I was prescribed Lyrica for the pain. Has anyone had experience taking this drug? i have heard bad things about it. Also, i am a horseback rider and my doctor told me id never ride again?! i refuse to accept this and i need someone to tell me that i wont have mp forever. i know there is no cure but i refuse to accept that i will be like this forever. i am an active person and i fear i will become depressed if this continues. Any words are appreciated.
