Mine is chemotherapy induced; Stage II ovarian cancer. Lyrica and duloxetine have been prescribed by my neurologist. I would say mine is basically tolerable. I take 6 Lyrica and 2 duloxetine throughout the day. It feels like my left foot is swelling past the size of my shoe sometimes when I am at work. I definitely know when I have forgotten a dose. Balance is poor, but I try not to run into doors and corners in walls. Some days are better than others.

Hello @he9, Welcome to Connect. I smiled when I read your post and saw "some days are better than others". It may not seem like much but I'm sure a lot of folks here on Connect can relate to some days definitely being better than others. I thought you might like to scan through the following discussion to learn what others have shared:

Have you had any PT or balance exercises to help with the balance issues?
