As I understand it, Lyrica is worse in the breathing department. But gabapentin is also listed as having this side effect in some people. But do discuss this with your doctor.

I was searching on the symptoms of COPD/Emphysema last night, and it seems that the only symptoms consistent to COPD is the shortness of br eath. I dont have a cough...and I can exercise without gasping for air. My wheezing is very very rarely. |

I have had hypersensitive skin for years, winter is a nightmare when I have to wear shoes. At Christmas I changed from Gabapentin to Lyrica and for the first time in years I am able to put my feet in the bed instead of sticking them out the side. I am also feeling much better, Gabapentin always made me feel exhausted, my GP always sympathised with me over the rotten way I was feeling and never offered Lyrica( the cynic in me says this is because it is so. much more expensive ).
I have also been taking tramadol for breakthrough pain and it works a treat.

WInter is also terrible for me because I need to wear heavy clothes. My neurologist has been talking me into shifting from Gabapentin to Lyrica. I am have not been too receptive because I remember when I started with Gabapentin, I had very very negative thoughts! These two medicines are "cousins" so I am concerned that I might go through that same thought process and it was scary. |

For those with hypersensitive skin PN'ers/Mrs.D : Is there a supplement that work for this symptom? Do you have any suggestions, other than wearing silk, fleece and 100% cotton dresses?
I am trying so hard to maintain my sanity but its making me nuts My feet are equally bothersome (which is going now halfway to my knees,) but between the two, I can be compelled to accept the painful feet but this jabbing, stabbing pain in my skin is too much. Thank you. |

I use a TENS unit at low setting that partially distract me from the hypersensitivity and helps "take the edge off" when it is especially bad. |

I'm wondering now about the furniture I'm dealing with. Both my chair in the office and chairs and sofa at home are made of a pretty rough material, so maybe i need to think about buying something smoother. I sat on a friend's cushiony, plush leather sofa and it didn't seem to bother me too much. It looked pretty expensive though. The whole situation sucks if I let my mind go there. |
