Thanks!
I have type 2 and am loosing steadily, but I had read that gastric surgery would immediately ‘cure’ diabetes...and wondered if it would also ‘cure’ the neuropathy.
I have not tried lyrica. It was once suggested to me that it could also help with my severe RLS/PLMW and fibromyalgia, but, a physician looked into having me participate in a study at University of Michigan and changed her mind when she found that high doses of lyrica needed to treat RLS/PLMW can cause fast growing, deadly cancerous tumors. I hesitate to take it even in smaller doses over a long period of time.
Better do a LOT of reading before you decide on Lyrica...has a ton of VERY Nasty side effects including WEIGHT GAIN, can attack joints with OA and the pain it generates in the joints is puke level.
