I am so happy, Jim; Especially as you have your livelihood back again. It gives us dignity and spiritual satisfaction to be able to do something useful for others in life! I just lost my job due to TM, so I am sort of starting over.
As to dosage, I am up to 375 mg 2x/day and am better for it, but I think that is the limit for me. I am 205 lbs and have intense burning pain, pins and needles, voltage-the works!--without Lyrica, and have been this way since first getting sick in early april 2010. But I can walk most of the time, thank the Lord!--so I am happy with things. But I need to get new work! It's ok, I write and am working on my second book; and I will help my wie in her real estate business back in NYC. Best of luck, Jim. Keep in touch! Dalton Dalton H.

Kind of makes you giddy doesn¹t it. Make it a great day, Deb From: James Berg [mailto:molokai...@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, June 11, 2011 4:07 PM To: malugss...@gmail.com Cc: transverse myelitis Subject: [TMIC] Lyrica Dalton--thank you so much for steering me to Lyrica. after three weeks of 450 mg a day, I guess I reached my saturation point and rather than taking it on a schedule, I take it when my legs start to jump again and it quiets them in about 30 minutes. I sharpen knives as a small business and I had stopped because of the leg jumping. Just can't have it when you have a blade on the wheel. Now for the first time in two years I am sharpening knives again. Hope I can get all the old customes back! Anyway, thanks alot. Jim
