Pregabalin
"I began reporting my symptoms of peripheral neuropathy to my doctor in the 90's. My stroke in 2002 finally got my doctor's attention that my nerve pain was real. She dropped me as her patient and subsequent doctors ignored my pain complaints. In 2004 I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia but my Neurologist said not to take Lyrica. Fortunately, I recently got a new Primary Care Physician and new Neurologist. Two weeks ago, my new PCP gave my samples of Lyrica. I am amazed at my improved ability to function already. I think of the years of being bedridden at age 36-41. I can't believe that I wasn't prescribed Lyrica, a decade ago. No side effects so far. I still have pain 24/7, but the relief due to Lyrica, is a miracle."
