pain
"I am a nurse, so needless to say back pain like so many of us, but the nasty burning shooting kind of pain radiating from thoracic spine out around ribs. I am awaiting more testing as still figuring out what is wrong but put on lyrica about 3 weeks ago, some relief within a few days, dose increased, more relief. The dose increased again with good effect. I do notice if I am late on a dose or miss a dose, sure pay for it, takes some time for pain to come back under control. I say as I write this at 5 am having not slept a wink.  I'm currently on 150 mg twice daily. I'm gaining a belly but have not gotten on the scales, initially giddy and absent minded but that has subsided even with dosage increases.  I think its a good drug choice for me. here hoping."
