I don't think the lyrica can cause new or more nerve pain, it's probably the progression of what is happening.
Hopefully the attack will settle down after it gets worse.

Thank you MrsD. Certainly a lot to consider. Will see what the PET scan shows then go from there. Really appreciate your help and advice.

Thanks Healthgirl. By the looks of things I have to get the dosage right. Enough to take off the edge but not over balance with the side affects of the Lyrica.

Yes I can notice changes in my thinking already, but will try for a while to see where it goes. No he hasn't given me any alternatives as yet if that's what you mean.

Hi Do you have a link for that number please? I can't find anything about it, and my labs just came back "normal" at 316. Thanks.

The Japanese have a cutoff low for B12 over 500 BTW... as they had an epidemic of low B12 that maimed and killed many thousands of people in the late 70's. (it was from a common drug called Vioform, which has been taken off the market here long ago. It is now called clioquinol-- an antifungal and used for traveler's diarrhea in the past. It was very popular in Japan.)

Phil, if you want to you could post the details of the lab reports about autoimmunity here (or by PM if you would prefer).

I (day job stuff) know a fair bit of immunology so might be able to comment.

Did they test your immuglobin levels for auto-immune testing, the igg, igm etc? One dr did for me and it was part of diagnosing my neuropathy as immune related.
Then other doctors I have seen have said that the high igg and igm are not a concern and they don't even know why they were tested. Makes it confusing when there are so many different opinions concerning neuropathy
