Sue I am sorry to hear your disease has advanced to the your upper extremities. I believe Lyrica despite its many side effects could be most helpful in your case. Are you taking Lyrica? The overwhelming consensus is that Lyrica is very effacacious. However, unfortunately there is axiom in medicine "the more effective a drug the more side efffects".
And certainly Lyrica comes with its fair share of side effects. (see "askapatient.com/viewrating.asp?drug=21723&name=LYRICA"). However as one participant stated "you choose and you lose". And of course it comes down to what doctors have been saying for ever the key is "Management". Let me know if there is any advice I can give you that might be helpful (I guess I still have that "doctor-state-of mind" that wants to help).
