Dear Carrol,

Please take care. It's not good when you write that you are concerned that your friend may harm himself. I hope that today is a better day.

With all of the meds that are out there, it seems that perhaps there MIGHT be a combo that will work for him with the burn and the itch? And please consider, as others have mentioned above, that there could be a reaction to meds going on.

Please do not EVER EVER EVER give up. BTW, Neurontin is often used for burn pain in really high doses. Even though Neurontin and Lyrica are in the "family," he may find that one is very different for him than the other.

Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.

XOXOX Sandy
