    Lyrica is a drug designed to treat fibromyalgia; however, as with most drugs, it helps a number of conditions, one of them being neuropathy. My son-in-law is a drug rep and tells me that he's heard of good success with Lyrica for neuropathy. P. S. He doesn't rep Lyrica. In fact, he was prescribed Lyrica for his sciatic pain. Glad to hear that you are feeling better and that you are back! Super! Hugs, Marilynn

    I have just recovered from the shingles and was prescribed Lyrica after the boils have disappeared but the symptoms still exist (pain and burning). It has been a godsend, The pain from the shingles has decreased 100% and I am back to work. This is my second time around with breast cancer, I am battling metastatic breast cancer which is in my hip area, thus the reason for contracting the shingles (taking anti-cancer drugs, low resistance, etc.). I was also told the Lyrica could be used to treat neuropathy. The only side effect is a little bit of drowsiness in the beginning, I would truly recommend it.

    Good luck and hope you are feeling better by the time you read this.
