Welcome @bobf46, Thanks for sharing what has helped you. Have you been diagnosed with diabetic neuropathy? Have you made any lifestyle changes to help with the diabetes?

Hi @bobf46. I recently (last month) started Lyrica’s generic, Pregabalin. I am on 150 mg total a day. I am still having a lot of pain especially with the spasms and pain in legs, bottom of feet and toes. It progressed over one year. It wakes me up at night and is excruciating at times. I walk with a cane and don’t get any exercise because of this. My neurologist is going to review my 4 week diary in a week to discuss what we will do with the medicine (go up or down on dose). My rheumatologist has me on steroids low dose to see if it helps my autoimmune arthritis. So, based on if we decide to try me on injectables, its a big decision. So how does the Lyrica relieve your symptoms? Which symptoms are impacted by it most? When the pain is excruciating I can’t do a thing. Massage, stretch, soak. That is it so far. I am looking into other ways to help this. I just found this website and thought I would give you a shout out. Thank you,
Nemo1
