i went to the doctor yesterday and he did nerve test and says i have

i see it is causes by many things including RA, all the others i have

not really had, except a possible vit deficiency.

her put me on Lyrica ...... starting with 75 mgs 2 times a day for a

week then up to 150 mgs 2 times a day.... who has taken this?? how

long did it take until you saw effects?? was there side effects?? i

know there was a post about lyrica i need to go back and search out

he orderd blood test... cbc, cmp, lupus, lime/live? (i cannot read

his writting) vit b12, colic acid and ANA........does this all sound

normal? sound like he is looking for a cause of the neuropathy..n

I am soo happy he DID something, i had never had the nerve test

before, even from the neurologist i saw last time this happened. now

to get the blood test done then i go back to see him in 2 weeks (if i

make it that long)

Amber, I have neuropathy in my feet, too. It sucks. I'd like to be

Thank goodness this is med for it.
