I also have been feeling better with the Lyrica, have knots, but not near as achy as i was. 600 mg a day is too much for me SLEEPY but went down to 350 and have more pain... Good Luch

this is the 2nd time ive tried lyrica. i started on 25 mg, then was to work my way up to 150 mg a day. If i take 100 mg i end up with a migraine. Im so disgusted with the nurse i wasnt even going there with her about this so im going to wait and talk to my rheumo at my next apt. i am still taking 50 mg at bedtime but it hasnt touched my pain

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
