Guest guest Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 You are probably right. I bet the Lyrica is part of the culprit if not all of it. Sorry to hear this though. hugs, Debra V. ddean228 navydaisy228@...> wrote: Debra, I've been on the Lyrica since 1/18/08, starting at the 75 mg 2xday, then after 2 weeks, went to 150 mg 2xday. And I probably started experiencing the side effects sooner, but have just noticed them because from 1/21/08 until about 3 weeks ago, I was on massive amounts of steroids, which also causes poofiness and swelling. I know my blood clot isn't causing the swelling, although I have to keep my legs elevated every day for 3-4 hrs to help it dissolve and it wasn't until Thursday night that a lightbulb went off in my head and I looked at my meds and the only one I have changed (added) is the Lyrica. I'm waiting on a cb from the nurse at the rheum's office on Monday - I spoke with the nurse on Friday and she was going to get w/the rheum and back with me. I truly hope you continue to have the benefits you and everyone else who has started on it! As we all know, not everything works for everyone, although I was hopeful this would work for me, too....sigh....
