@lioness I don't understand why the doctor wouldn't prescribe Lyrica. Your pain specialist should be able to help. Did your doctor give his reason for refusing to prescribe?

I was gradually increasing my dosage of Lyrica when all of the sudden I had such a reaction I was in the hospital for 3 days. The bummer is that it was helping my neuropathy pain.

@jimhd I don't know why she wouldn't prescribe it but I'm switching to a new health plan where they have a rheumatologist where I'm at now there is known. I also am seeing my pain Dr. Tues and talk to him

@jim, Alumni Mentor. I hope you have not suffered any dangerous complications with Lyrica. You mentioned that you had to be hospitalized for several days. I went back to see what were some side effects and was reminded that there are some serious ones, indeed.

All medications have side effects. Even serious ones rarely happen. But when they do we must be strong and take whatever steps necessary to guard our health.

If I could have received pain relief from the supplements I was taking, I would gladly have continued taking them. Sometimes they just stop working for no particular reason.

Saying a prayer for you and all of us who work so hard to maintain our health.
