I have been on the Lyrica almost a week, and I can already see a difference in the Neuropathy in my feet. I agree that the Lyrica makes you less fatigued than the Neurontin so I think it is a good alternative. Insofar as weight gain goes, I am hoping if my feet feel better, I can put on my tenny pumps and start walking again. There is always a silver lining!
Just curious...did anybody else have plantar warts? My oncologist says I'm a walking friggin textbook for side affects. I know now that is not uncommon to lose the toenails (and I lost a few), but the Doc surprised me when he said he thought the plantar warts came from the chemo affects. He relieved some of the pain with his blade, but I'm scheduled for laser surgery on the plantar warts on Wed...20 minutes and I'll be out the door and back to work the next day (so he says).
