A very warm welcome to the forum - don't be nervous we are all a friendly bunch. I can't help you on the Pregabalin but I am sure someone on here will be able to.

You have found the right place for encouragement, questions answered and a good laugh. Keep posting as your questions are never too trivial.

Take care

Jackie

Hi Val

I don't know anything about pregabalin but I don't think there will be a drug that someone on this forum hasn't taken. I am sure you will get some good advice soon.

Good luck

Hi Val, dont be nervous!! we're quite a friendly lot really!! I take pregabalin for my fibromyalgia, I havent had any problems so far. I started on 75mg per day, then after two week, two 75mg and so on, now I take 300mg twice a day. I am also on mtx, hydroxy. I have been lucky re side effects, I feel a little nauseus after taking mtx, so I take it on the evening, and feel fine the next day. Hope this helps youSmile

A welcome from me Val.

Sorry it is late welcome but I have just returned from holiday.

Do not be nervous about posting anything of this forum - it is great and
always so much encouraging.

I do not have any knowledge of the drug you mention I am afraid.

I am 57 from Somerset. diagnosed in late 2008. Been on lots of diff
drugs which unfort have not worked. However yesterday started TNF
treatment / Humira . So fingers crossed now.

Keep posting

Rose
