FYI ladies,
Lyrica is amazingly helpful for neuropathy pain from chemo. I am on 600 mg, a large dose, but I split it up to 200mg 3x per day. Haven't gone so far as jogging yet, but would like to try in a week or so.
My oncolygist told me it wouldn't work, but I wanted to try it any way, I was sick of being on morphine and Percocet for pain relief that he would have me on. So I asked my family doc for a prescription, and after ramping up the dose over about a month, I have a new best friend.
Bottom line is, our doctors DONT have the final say, go with your gut and get another opinion if something doesn't feel right.
