Hi, Daniella. I went to a new doc today -- an anesthesiologists who specilizes in pain management. She has been written up in 2 magazines as Atlanta's best doc in the field. She recommended a trial of gradually increasing my Lyrica up to 300 mg. twice a day. Then, If that doesn't work, trying the spinal cord stimulator. She was very nice and listened to all my questions and gave me good answers. I am going to go along with this, I think. Hopefully I will be able to take more Lyrica without increasing side effects and I won't have to face the spinal cord stimulator, but.....

I go back to her in 28 days to let her know how the Lyrica works out. I know you are facing a decision on the spinal cord stim. thing, too. If I learn an more about it I will let you know.

Thank you for the update. I'm glad you liked that doc. That is my issue finding a better one after so many that I feel are not. I'm doing more through the pain so am waiting for another opinion. Good luck with the lyrica. Also someone here emailed me a web that has more people who get the stimulator. I hope its ok to post it here.I think its this but if not let me know,www.npnc.org.
