PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT THE SIDE AFFECT.  I HAVE ALOT OF PAIN IN MY HANDS AND ARMS.  I HAVE NO FEELINGS IN MY LEGS. I READ MANY OF YOUR LETTER TRHEY HELP ME TO KNOW I AM NOT ALONE.   MARIE FROM CT. Hi Marie,   How nice to hear from you, although not under these circumstances.  You have had Tm lots longer than I have.  I ought to be asking questions of you instead of the other way around.  I know so little.   I'm sorry that at this time I cannot answer your questions regarding Lyrica.  I was just beginning the protocol for getting off  of Neurontin and onto Lyrica when I broke both of my legs.  Because of all of the additional medications I am on to help the pain in my legs and to try to build them up with calcium and vitamins, my doctor decided it would be too much to try to get on Lyrica at this time.  I will try it again once the casts are off my legs and I can get around a little bit better.  I have enough to deal with right now.   I haven't even done any research into Lyrica although I believe it is Linda who is taking it and having good luck.    I can't wait to try Lyrica.  I am in quite a lot of pain all of the time, like so many of us, and have heard such good things about it.  Someone reported that their pain was completely gone.  I hope that we are all so lucky!   Thanks for sharing email, Marie.  It's nice to hear from new people.  I hate the reason that we with TM have gotten to know one another, but I do enjoy making new friends.    Please keep in touch with me and the rest of the "List".  Good luck with Lyrica...let me know how you do.   Peace, Jude
