How I hope and pray you will be soon treated to assure all is well, and if not that your caregivers will respond as they must. It is definitely NOT okay for any caregiver to opine "that is not normal" and take no affirmative action; thus, it is my hope your appointment will be a step in the right direction.

Lyrica- it bears attention, care and respect. Through years of pain my docs had ramped me up to 1800mg Lyrica per day in addition to the opiates and others. Then, one leapt out of his reverie and asked how long I had been on such high dosage. He expressed concern as to potential long term effects and switched me over to Neurontin..... another nerve med. On that particular med I was ramped up to over 3000mg per day.

The ultimate goal was withdrawal from all pain meds and to allow this body opportunity to gain restorative balance. Thankfully with the aid of my stim AND careful guidance of DOC, made the difficult journey from med dependence to freedom. Now I rely dominately on the stim with med every now and again and sparingly.

I pray for you that all will surely be well once this is sorted out,
