Lyrics has damaged my kidneys so my doctor is reducing my dose to 150 mg. Per day. I'm down to 175 mg. and the burning pain has gotten terrible. She says that she doesn't know what to do. Her only thing was to tell me to buy lidocaine which really doesn't help much. I had a stroke which caused thalamic pain. It is similar to neuropathy but still not the same but probably treated the same. Does anyone know what might help me. Thanks in advance.
