"i suffer from severe peripheral neuropathy.  it is unusual in the sense that it is not diabetes caused, but is apparently idiopathic and hereditary.  i have excellent relief from lyrica with few side effects.  i find myself nodding out occasionally at my computer or watching tv.  i exercise more, drink more coffee, and allow more time for sleep.  the more i take, the greater the relief.  i take 400mg per day.
