If I wait to take second one at bedtime it's easier to function but it's harder to get up and going in the morning.
My Dr. recommended supplementing with Vit. C, magnesium, and D3 is supposed to help keep the bone from being affected.
Keep us posted and welcome!
Thanks guys.

It's too soon to say if there is any change with the lyrica as it's only been a short time. I'm just hoping that it'll make a difference.

Thanks for the advice on the supplements. I'd been taking vit c but will get some magnesium and D3 as well.
