I have been taking the lyrica and I have to say I no longer have the invisiable ants crawling on me and biting me.....plus that deep in the bone pain has way slacked up too.....so obviously it just felt like the pain was deep in my bones....my daughter says thats from the porphyria .......cause it is a blood disorder.....either way it is better.....I looked at my med box and what I take and except for my blood pressure meds I take 2 the other 6 all deal with chronic pain......plus I am getting ready to get my card for medical marijauna that will make 7 things I take for pain controll.....crazy..........................Dale

Glad the lyrica is working well for you. It has really helped me with the pain of fibromyalgia but your leg problem sounds just like what you get with RLS. I take mirapex for that, it is the only thing that works at all for me with that crawly got to move feeling. Hope you have a good pain day.  lots of love gramanan

Are they still doing Medical marijuana programs out there?  I thought the DEA had shut all those down.  I mean, they arrested that little old lady in California for medicinal pot, which I thought was a new low for the DEA.  But they did it and even worse things a year or two ago.  I remember them busting the pot clinics and taking it away from those with cancer and chronic pain and putting those people in jail.  So I'm amazed that there are those who are still doing that program out there, in defiance of the DEA and the federal government. 
 
I mean, I think we all can agree that here's a place where a new Attorney General will be a big help.  I think that all happened before Gonzoles, during John Ashcrofts reign.  Well, didn't mean to get political.  But that  just astounded me. 
 
Don't feel badly about having so many medications for your chronic pain, hon.  It's pretty typical. 
 
Hugs and lots of love,
 
Dan

Dale, I'm really glad Lyrica is working for you.  For some there are more side effects than help.  I'm happy you're not one of these people.  I also hope your medical marijuana works for you, too.  Just don't crank up the pounds when you start that.  Sooooo happy to hear you're having so much less pain problems.  Hugs,  Claire
