[QUOTE="anna29, post: 323287, member: 30936"] Hi All. Like eileen1951 I use lyrica [pregablin] and only use/take a tramadol when the pain 'keeps' me awake at night-time! Am under a fabulous podiatry team they see me every 4 weeks and are keeping a close eye on my feet. Any sign of anything they see me every 2 weekly. Have found 2 fabulous podiatrists who do ALL they can to help me. Footcare is vital - as well as the meds/drugs to combat the pain levels. I encourage all to 'check' that you are seen by the diabetic podiatry/footcare team[s] As WHEN the weather goes colder like it is now, I 'do' find it goes much worse! Last time I saw the podiatrist she made me some thermal insoles for inside my footwear. To help keep the heat trapped inside shoes and seals around my feet keeping them warm. I do find lyrica affects my memory as it is used for epileptics its a neuro blocker - stops pain signals reaching my brain as it stops brain signals to trigger a fit with epileptics. Only trouble is - it blocks things I want to file away in my memory :roll: So I may be painfree but found I could'nt remember things like I used to ... We reduced the dosage as I wasnt happy being so forgetful. Only take 50mg of this now plus co-codamol during the day. If I am kept awake with severe pain then I will take a tramadol. So I can then get a bit of restful sleep more successfully. Hope this helps? Anna.[/s] [/QUOTE]
