I have recently started taking Lyrica for my fibromyalgia. It was developed for the pain of diabetic neuropathy and shingles. It has made a dramatic change in my life. The pain is almost nonexistent. You may want to ask your Dr. if it is something that could help you.

I tried Lyrica for about 6 months. For a while I thought it helped a little. I did have some new sensation in my feet, although calling it an improvement would be a stretch - it included tingling, pain, and occasional cramps, so I finally gave up on it. Besides, it was not only expensive but hard to obtain insurance coverage for.

My sister has fibro, and will be entering a drug trial in the Kansas City area. I don’t know if it involves Lyrica.
