Gunny,
I have been on Lyrica for almost 2 years. Dr Kerr prescribed it for
me. I started out with 300 mg per day and since last October I have been
taking 450 mg.I cannot say if it helps pain because I am not really in
pain...I am in constant discomfort.Having said that Lyrica has been the
most effective med I have taken in 10 years. It has reduced the feeling
of pins & needles, numbness and banding. I have also found no side
effects other than I believe it increases my appetite (like marinal).

Is anybody on Lyrica and if so, could you tell me the benefits. I was
turned down for it because it's not designed to aid in Pain caused by
TM. It's supposed to be for pain caused by Diabetes which to me would be
diabetic Neuropathy, Not Peripheral. SAnyhoo, I ned to file an appeal,
so any info would be helpful.
