OK --- Nuts!! MY BAD Should read FYI for Lyrica!! F key is stuck. I eat and work in bed all the time like many! Write IN if you want

=======================

This is a place where you can "write your story" if you want to provide consumer feedback good/or bad.

YOU can use this as a place to TELL Pfizer what "your story" is w/Lyrica. It is an important piece to their market research. Since so many have and OPINION -- this is where you tell them and it gets tabulated as good/bad/middle etc...

As some of you know I do a bit of marketing. PLEASE NOTE: They are in the business of attempting to gather info - info is power for any business. You can TELL them and inevitably if enough of the same consumer feedback is culled, TRUST me it is reviewed by the marketers and the development people. They are in the biz of "selling" the solution to others and need US as well as the Docs to be UP on it.

JUST a THOUGHT ---

However- you will note they offer you to "buttons" to receive "more" from Pfizer OR add'l 3rd parties.

IF you do not want to get information from them do NOT click. I can tell you w/high LEVEL of confidence they will NOT make your name available UNLESS you give them permission. They MUST be adherent to not only HPPA requirements but to Consumer Protection Guidelines and the Direct Marketing Association. (Remember all the shit Walmart got into years ago? The laws are tough on Pharma’s) They have no incentive to have the DMA or other FCC regulators swarm down.

You will be left alone UNLESS you proactively hit those check buttons.

THIS IS WHERE THEY GET CONSUMER FEEDBACK -- if you love it, tell them and if you hate, tell them --

I can say this -- it cannot hurt and they do this for a reason -- to actually GET FEEDBACK. They will do focus groups etc.

You will be a number, and tabulated, one among many voices but it is a chance to tell your experience to the manufacturer of the drug in a forum I know they rely on.

Like anything else on the web, be smart! LOVE auggie
