Interesting Ed - Same idiopathic diagnosis, but I had a regular Neurologist prescribe the Lyrica not too long ago. I got home with it and just put the bottle away; after filling it, I wasn’t exactly sure why we added it. My fault for not asking my doctor what he thought the benefit of adding it would be; I didn’t report a change in my condition or anything other than hoping for a diagnosis & cure some day😃; my Neuropathy has been maintaining with all else I do and take. So I decided not to take the Lyrica and have to adjust to the possible unintended consequences of adding to my medicine list for my total health management, and will keep the pills in inventory until I see him in 6 more months when I’ll make sure we discuss the thinking on adding one more pill in my life. (At the moment I only take Gabapentin for Neuropathy, but I have some other prescriptions for other condition) Thanks for sharing your experience with Lyrica and the advice from your Mayo doctor.
