Feb. 7, 2002 --- the night from hell.... Never, ever forget that date... My problems are from the waist down. I cannot have a soft piece of cloth, nightgown, etc... against my legs... awful pain... My neuro could not decide if I have TM or MS so in December I started taking a shot of copaxone every day. And then I take cymbalta for pain and depression. After 5 yrs. of TM I am still trying different drugs. I was on 2400mg. Neurontin till March of this year. I have now switched to 2 75mg. of Lyrica twice a day! I'm going to keep trying it for 3 months.. My pain has increased slightly over the years. I guess that's why I keep wanting to try something different. The Lyrica numbs my legs but sometimes too much as I can't feel my feet... but it has helped with the burning, and the tight bands around the legs. Occasionally I take vicodin when I've overdone it at work or shopping or long trips in the car. Supposedly Lyrica is just the "latest" drug to take the place of Neurontin. Trudy
