New to Forum but not new to MS
 

Hi everyone. I have had MS for 21 yrs. I am in the secondary progressive phase now. I joined here in part because I am trying to find out if anyone knows anything about tapering off Lyrica and triggering regular daily spasms. Can't get help from my doctors...yet. Several recommendations - none of which I like. Is there a particular place I should post or look for more info?

Thanks

Melanie:)

Hi Melanie and welcome to NeuroTalk! :welcome_sign:

What condition were you taking Lyrica for? Was it for MS? We have a Medications Forum.....here is the link.....http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum72.html. You might want to start a thread about Lyrica and ask any questions you have about it. You can also start a thread in the MS forum if that is a more appropriate forum.

You can also do a search and see a collection of all threads that deal with Lyrica.

Hope this helps! :)

HI MJ I have no idea about Lyrica, but would think that if you post on the front side of the MS forum, several here use that med, and can probably help you. :hug:

Welcome Melanie!!:hug:

90% DXed
 

My name is Teri and as the title says, my 2nd opinion doc says he is 90% sure that I have RRMS. I go next week for head, neck, upper and lower back MRIs and the evoked potentials. I did tons of research and brought my sx and concerns to my first doc and he would budge off of a peripheral neuropathy and essential tremor diag.
I just turned 50 this week and am actually happy to have found a doc who took the time to listen to all I had to say and ask. I know that the sooner I start meds, the better off I will be.
It is my hope that I can continue to work as long as possible as a k-2 reading teacher as I am a single parent and am still raising child/teen #3.
Thank you for having me.
