Re: to Debra V

I don't know, but I thought it might have been helping as early as the 2nd or

3rd day. I don't know if it was just coincidence or not. I do know that this

morning I got up, it was storming outside and raining cats and dogs. I was not

hurting as bad as usual. A few hours later I was cleaning my entire bathroom

without any exhaustion or pain. I did take a hydrocodone this morning too

though. But I cannot remember the last time I felt like I could clean the

toilet, the tub, the sink and sweep and mop the bathroom floor without being

completely exhausted and hurting. Then I mopped my kitchen. (ok, niether of

those rooms are huge)... but nevertheless, I have not been able to do that with

energy in a few years.

I have been able to cut back on my pain pills too.

Hope you have success with this med also. But I won't get my hopes up too

high. Because I have heard the same story from several people and then the

Lyrica just stopped working as well as it did at first. I am going to try to

see if my doctor will give me samples until I can figure out how to pay for it.

(Oh yeah, I have some side effects of being somewhat off balance more than

usual and a little lightheaded)

love and hugs,

Debra V.

Hi,

I was wondering if you had noticed any difference since you have been

taking the Lyrica. Today was the first day I took 2 75mg. and I felt

pretty good. Dont' know if it is too soon, but keeping my fingers

crossed. Only effects I have noticed was tonight after I took it I was

a bit off balance occasionally, not badly...so, that's good. Hope you

are doing well.

Love,

I laughed out loud when I read your email about not being buried because of

claustrophobia!! I am the same way. The idea of being in that teeny, dark, no

air box...albeit dead totally freaks me out. I definitely want to be cremated.

So you see you aren't the only goofy one!!

How is the Lyrica doing? I can't believe how well I feel, I'm scared!! My

arthritis in my ankles is kiling me, I see my foot dr. tomorrow, I'm going to

beg him to give me cortisone injections so they can get back to normal. Then

I'll be hopping and skipping..well maybe not but feeling darn good. I bounced

back after working outside all day, so, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for me

for you and everyone that is trying it!

Love and Hugs,

I am the same way also - that's why I want to be cremated and scattered in the

wind! LOL

Hi,

Yep, the Lyrica is a magic potion, that's for sure. My lightheadedness has

stopped too, I realized today. I saw my ankle doctor and I have the flatest feet

in the world, all the sibs do, and that is a main problem, so he gave me a shot

of cortisone to help calm things down and a figure 8 type wrap to wear when I'm

walking around. So, if I can get this ankle better I will be one happy camper. I

just can't believe how much better I feel. I have been oh so sleepy though, but

I can live with that.

Hugs back,
