lyrica and tumors

I KNOW IT HAS A DEFORMED SELLA,IT COULD BE WHERE MY PAIN IS COMING FROM, ALONG WITH THE BIH,I ALSO KNOW THE THYROID CAN REALLY MESS WITH YOUR BODY. I HAVE ALOT OF HYPO SX,I TAKE LYRICA,ACETAZOLAMIDE,LEXAPRO,AND NORCODICS FOR PAIN,ECT ... I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW IF ANYONE CAN GIVE ME ANY INPUT ON THIS ONE ?

I am so sorry. Sending up a prayer. Are you a mediator or member.

I am 37 years old and ws just recently dianosed with NF-1. most of my tumors are located in my right calf down to my arch of my foot. I had 2 surgeries, the first was to remove 5 tumors (one on my ankle, 2 on my calf and 2 in hte arch of my foot.) I had a mri after taht and it showed that I had 4 more 2 in the heel and 1 either very large one or 2 in the arch of my foot in the shape of a bownling pin.

I will let you know. I am on Lyrica and have been for about a year. I am 47 and also been on Topamax for my seizures as well. Too many other AEDs over the past 5 yrs to name . Did the Lyrica cause my "spot" on my MRI that wasn't there on my last mammogram in JUne of last year? Who knows? We will see what my biopsy reveals next Wed.

This was an excellent choice, as it helps with my anxiety, I use less clonazepam and I feel less drowsy. Lyrica did give me blurred vision and extra paranoia at the start, and that was indeed awful for the first couple weeks as I upped my dosage! After the initial troubles, I found that it really was better than gabapentin for me now. I have not gained weight, but remain the same weight I call my meds weight. I just try to remain active and not pig out.

The pain of occipital neuralgia begins in the neck and spreads upwards to scalp, forehead, and behind the eyes. The pain is due to irritation or injury of nerves, pinching of nerves by tight neck muscles, compression of nerves as it leaves the spine secondary to osteoarthritis or tumors in the neck. Local inflammation or infection, gout, diabetes etc.

Cymbalta has also had reports of causeing suicidal thoughts and on a molecular leval has a lot of simularities with lyrica so be catreful and stay in close contact with your doctor and us. I take lyrica 150Mg 3x per day and have never had that side effect but I keep a close watch. I also take an antidepresant called trazodone whitch is an older drug but one that is very easy to get along with. Best of luck and God bless.

My Dr was going to prescribe me lyrica for shingles pain but I was hesitant and refused at the time. I did some research on it when I got home and actually found that lyrica is approved in eroupe for anxiety. I also read reviews of people taking it for other things and found that it helped with their anxiety. Glad to know it is working for you. What dosage are you on?Where your prescribed the lyrcia for anxiety or something else? Hope it continues to help you.

I have been to countless Doctors, tried numerous drugs,(Lyrica, Savella, Gabapentin, etc., etc.) and alternatives, massage, whirlpool, etc. I have been tested for everything, Lyme, RA, Lupus, etc., etc. negative. Doctors don't really know much about these post treatment effects so don't really know how to treat. Is anyone experiencing the same situation - gotten any good results - found a Doctor who is HCV literate and can help ( in the NYC area).

You can get addicted to lyrica, it is a controlled substance. but if they work for you and take away the pain and you know you are gonna have to take them the rest of your life, who care.

I am in the same position with my husband. He is taking Lyrica and we would like to try having our first child. I know this was two years ago, but did your husband end up going off the Lyrica before you conceived?

Ive been on lyrica and nuvigil fro fibro pain and fatigue, and just found out I'm pregnant. I'm just wondering if anyone else has taken either one of those while pregnant. I've stopped them for i was on only 50 mg of lyrica and about 100 of nuvigil. but I'm still worried, and i feel like I've been hit by a train once again, the pain is almost unbearable, i know my doc personally, have an appt. with him for the 12th.

I am taking 300 mg of Lyrica a day. I am having heavy swelling in my hands, feet and ankles and doctor put me on Lasix. It is helping a bit but still uncomfortable and pain. I've put a lot of weight on and am also having bad memory problems (can't find my words) and blurry vision. Is there anything that can be done that doesn't require me to get off of Lyrica? it really helps my pain. If I have to get off of it what is the best way to do so?

my question is the dr. prescribed lyrica for me and yesterday when i took it, i was feeling pretty weird and didn't really have the feeling of needing to take my methadone (35mg.), but i took it. Today i thought i might try not to take it. has anyone ever heard of lyrica for methadone withdrawel. it is very expensive at 300.00 a month, but i pay 420.00 month for the clininc. if anyone has heard is lyrica addciting?

I have been on lyrica for a while now. My doctor has increased the doseage and I am gaining weight in my stomach like crazy. Not sure what is going on with that, I don't want to gain any more weight than I am already carrying, which is alot. Next week I will be starting a heart healthy diet, my mom lives with me and has been seeing a cardiologist, so I figure that may help. If the diet doesn't help I may have to stop taking the lyrica.

And we have traveled the world. I am in some sort of denial and refuse to believe it and want a second option heard of UC Davis Veterinary School. Although my vet was really sweet I could not really understand her she is from Japan. She did an ultrasound a found a mass the size of a fist please give some hope and tell me surgery is the best thing. Worried cause he is 13 yrs old and deserves to live at least 2 more years right?

ve had cats my entire life-most of the time more than one AND some of had tumors/cancer. I have never had any vet OR specialist ever tell me that a tumor was definitely cancer without getting a biopsy! I really am, truly shocked that both vet and specialist are diagnosing cancer without a biopsy. Unbelievable!!!! ={ I really think you should go ahead and get the biopsy, and then you'll know the truth!! I really think that you'll feel better, once you get the truth.

i have fibriod tumors on ulerine and cyst on ovarie i havent had a period in almost nine years and im spotting and cramping im worry might be canser can somedy give me some insight on this

Hi, I take 75mg when needed for RLS and neuropothy, and it lays me out! I mean, a full on sleep. I was prescribed 75mg twice a day, but just couldnt take it and even come close to functioning. I keep it around now to help with W/D's and use it when i get spastic pain in my feet. It works great for that. Im sorry, but I dont get w/d from Lyrica and cant really help you with kinda dose. Im a big guy too, 6'2" and 220 pounds and that stuff layes me out!

While I was undiagnosed, I was on Neurontin for a couple of months and then tried Lyrica. I do think Lyrica relieved more pain, but it did cause me more side effects and in the end, I was not happy with the balance of relief vs. complications. Lyrica made me feel more dizzy and confused. For example, I would take my dose, and within minutes I wouldn't remember if I had taken it yet or not. That made me uncomfortable.

What exactly are cymbalta and lyrica? Aren't they anti-depressants? How do they help with the pain? Do they help with chronic fatigue as well? I have been diagnosed with chronic fatigue, and the aches and pains(especially legs from my thighs to my ankels) are leading the doctor to think fibromyalgia. I was just wondering about these meds because I NEED some relief and I've heard many mentions of these meds. Can they be taken with provigil?

I also started having breast milk without being pregnant. My pharmacist and Dr took me off of Lyrica and the ticks slowed down and the breast milk went away. Pain became intolerable so they switched me to Lamectal and I have started breast milk again and well as a little more of the ticks than I had without any of the meds. Anyone with any ideas? I need the meds but I don't want the lactation to hurt my body in the long run.
