Now I am really confused! All I know is that it stopped some of the nerve pain/ some of the time (the allodynia) and some of the numbness. I would have absolutely no feeling in certain parts of my lips/ face at times and after starting lyrica it has stopped. I didn't know anything about lyrica softening the strength of nerve signals- I will have to look into that more. Now I am wondering if the numbness stopped for some other strange reason and not because I started lyrica?!
Let me know if you have any further thoughts on it!
