Been healthy all my 55 years. Last August though diagnosed with high blod sugar. Under control now with meds for 5 months. BUT!!! Starting in Oct. started getting pain in lower back. Pain then went to hips, buttocks, thighs, etc. Found out have neuropathy...pain is tough to bear each day. Too, I beat the cement all day at my job. Started me on Elovil in Dec. My heart rate went sky high. Had to wean off that for a month. Now been on Lyrica for (2) weeks. Now taking 300mg total a day. No real change yet. Although it seems the pains is more nerve feeling than muscle pain. Like being "plugged in". Looking for advise/help/etc. Being told that Lyrica is to buy time until 6 -9 months when I should be back to normal...by keeping my blood numbers low. Looking for friends who have been there/done that to share there stories and victories over this dreaded issue. I'm far from a whiner, but it take all this man's got to get through a day...to get home and lay flat...Thanks Friends, Mike |
