But please understand that you will not appreciate what Lyrica does until it builds up a level in your system and that takes about two weeks. Bacofen, neurotin etc, etc did nothing for me even in large doses. I hate narcotics but have found that a couple glasses of wine in the evening makes for a pleasant nights sleep.

Or maybe TM was a symptom of the back injury. Norco has reduced acetaminophen in it with hydrocodone, but there is still a little bit. lyrica didn't do anything for me. Neurontin or gaberpentin (sic) is predecessor or pregabulin Lyrica. And, there are a lot of people out there who develop nasty side effects with the stuff. I definitely doesn't work for everyone. But, the broken back fits into the category of what used to be called Causalgia or now reflex sympathetic dystrophy. And, that's a whole other animal. > > >________________________________ > Date: Tue, 27 Dec 2011 07:51:59 -0800 >From: [email protected] > >Subject: Re: [TMIC] re pins and needles >To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] > > >I am truly thankful that we have a variety of things to work with. > > >just read where possibly next year we will have hydrocodone >without acetaminophen in it. it will have more hydrocodone but without the >liver damage. > > > >________________________________ > From: Dalton Garis <[email protected]> >To: john snodgrass <[email protected]>; Bernie <[email protected]>; TMIC ><[email protected]> >Sent: Tuesday, December 27, 2011 9:23 AM >Subject: Re: [TMIC] re pins and needles > > >John; > > >Your point is well taken.
