Pain
"I began reporting my symptoms of peripheral neuropathy to my doctor in the 90&#039;s. My stroke in 2002 finally got my doctor&#039;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&#039;t believe that I wasn&#039;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."
