Thanks for your prompt and informative response. I will talk to my Doc regarding meds mentioned to make sure there is no possibility of adverse reactions with a couple of other meds I take.

I know that once the nerve ends are damaged, there is no way back - hopeful something else will give me some relief without all the side effects of Pregabalin, an anticonvulsant as is Gabapentin and was developed by Pfizer to treat Epilipsy. The skeptic in me tells me that was another grab by a Pharma Giant to make another dollar.
Best regards,
Bill
