Well....I guess he told me....nice to know that it is all in my head.
Jak, you do realize that hydrocodone IS the narcotic portion of Vicodin, right?
was he meaning the difference between brand and generic?

Well...the feet were feeling awfully good the last two days. I had 3 bottles of beer last night. I also didn't take my nightly Lyrica. (Probably should not have done both at the same time). However, today the feet are NOT doing well. Burning...stabbing pain. I'm going to stay on the Lyrica, and avoid all alcohol for a month, and see what happens.
