At my local health food shop, I was recommended to try "Devil's Claw" and almost immediately, had relief from the various painful spots all over the body. After a month of taking this treatment, some have actually disappeared and the others are now not so noticeable. This has helped me to sleep much better.
Lyrica by: Anonymous
I have also been on Lyrica and found that I gained 20 pounds and counting as a result. This put great stress on my already problematic knees and heart. And this in turn made it harder to exercise. Catch 22 again.
I have since gone off this drug. But I did find that it was beneficial as far as reducing the pain. I was taking 2 per day. At first I thought it was a miracle drug and was ecstatic. Then the pounds started to pack on despite my increased exercise time.
This drug may not react this way on everyone. Unfortunately, I was one of the unlucky ones.
