I'd consider getting your medical marijuana card. Marijuana works great as a muscle relaxer.

No such thing in Kentucky and moving is not an option as all my children and grandchildren are here.

That's a shame. THC is also a neuroprotector.

Default Pregabalin
Hi Roadrunner,
Pregabalin is a drug similar to Gabapentin with a similar effect but it is more easily absorbed and, hence, it is easier to get the correct dosage. You could try as small dose, such as 25 mg, and build up if you can tolerate it.

I haven't tried it. I am going to though, so let us know if you do try it.
Best of luck,
Concussed Scientist

I go to doctor again end of February and will talk to him about Pregabalin. If you try it first let me know how you do on it.
