Hi Tawny,
            I have many health issues too and yes you get to a point where its "OK so I don't even care what anything is called just give me relief so I can go on with my life." So many tests and drs appts....ENOUGH ALREADY....UHG Well anyway, I just found out recently also that I have PN and have found great relief from lyrica. Had been on neurontin for approx10 yrs on and off. Got tremendous relief from it but was a world class space cadet and I am now seeing movies, reading books,having conversations and for the first time feeling "my" normal again. PHEW!!  Got my memory back.  many people don't have the memory prob. Hope you find the right dose for you. If your pain remains call the doc back and stay on his back until you get relief.   Jan S.

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a place for information and support.  I have many
health issues, but one is peripheral Neruopathy, and it's so new to
me.  I also have rhematoid arthritis, lupus, sjogren's,
neurofibromatosis(tumors on the nerves.)  I have problems with my left
leg.  I have been to so many doctor appointments and tests, I'm so
tired of it.  I have had three MRI's, that recently showed 3 herniated
discs in my neck. I haven't got the results in my lower back yet.  I
have also had the EMG test.  My doctor just started me on Neurontin
300Mg, at 2X a day.  I can tell it helps a little, but still having
problems with my leg.  Thanks for listening, and I hope to get to know
you all, Tawny
