Hi, my name is Rick, I'm a single 48 year old professional who lives in Northern IL and has been battling nerve pain in my left for since a 1999 motorcycle accident and subsequent surgeries.

I recently had to quit taking a high dosage of Neurontin (Gabapentin) due to liver problems. I have started on Lyrica in hope of having the same relief without making my liver go nuts.

I take Amitriptyline and Celexa to aid the affect of the other drugs.

I still ride motorcycles and could not image not continuing to do so. Life should be lived.

Hi Rick and Welcome to NT. Northern IL, Huh??? I'm pretty familiar w/that area. One of my best friends' is recuperating from a serious motorcycle/auto accident that happened in Janesville, WI in July.

She was pretty busted up, but b/c of a miracle. she is recovering. So, don't know if she'll ever ride again. Too early for her to tell,as she broke 2 vertebrae in her neck. Anyway, Glad you found us and hope the new meds help you.:welcome_sign:

Hi, Rick, welcome to NeuroTalk!

Many people do quite well on Lyrica, here's hoping you'll be one of them.

Feel free to join in anywhere.:)

Rick,

Hi Rick,

I'm having trouble typing because I'm tired... it took me 5 times to get the letters in your name right...

Okay so right to the point, I was having a lot of B12 shots some time ago, and someone on a forum scared me a bit about the cyano in them...

Recently a young woman who came to my site and who had also lived in hydrogen sulfide and then gotten tetanus later, suggested I try a liver cleanse because of how helpful it had been for her.

So I asked on some forum here about liver cleanses, and I got Milk Thistle and have been taking it ever since. I am amazed at how powerful they say it is.

I'd get that, if I were you and having liver problems.

And, I'd also take B12 in the form of Methylcobalamin ... that's just sooo useful for nerves.

Can I get that from beer? :D

Thanks for the good wishes

Rick

lol

so are you in Wisconsin? Seems to me that beer was attributed all sorts of powers when I was growing up there...

:)

I just went back and looked, and I see you say you are in Northern Illinoise. So I think you better be careful, being that close to Wisconsin. :)
(lol)
