Since 2000, I have tried all that the doctors recommended up until they got to Lyrica and I did not want to go there. Everything I took didn’t help the pain and made me drowsy and not able to function normally during the day. The only thing that helps me is an opioid, which I take very sparingly when I want to go somewhere and enjoy myself and I only take half at a time. It took an act of Congress for me to get the opioids. They give me a very limited amount every month, which is plenty for me. That is one very sore point with me that the drug addicts can have opioids, but the people with a lot of pain are very restricted. I understand the problem, but still……..
