Dear Donna:
I am so glad you've had relief from Lyrica. I have been taking it too --
only it makes me sleepy and dizzy -- not good side effects. Also, I have
found that it works well on the pain emanating from a damaged nerve in my
elbow -- and I mean the relief is fantastic -- but less well on the pelvic
adhesions. However, I'm going to continue with it in the hope that
adjusting the dosage will be what I need.
Thanks,
Val
