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.
