My 81-year-old father has suffered with Postherpetic Neuralgia for over 2 years. The pain he has endured has been excrutiating. He was unable to put clothes on his upper body due to the lingering pain from his Shingles. We waited patiently for LYRICA® (pregabalin) capsules CV to be available. Finally, we received the good news. His doctor prescribed the medication and in 8 days he was able to put a shirt on for nearly the first time in 2 years! I talked to him yesterday and even though he has some residual pain in his chest, it is nothing compared with what he had suffered before.
LYRICA has provided him the pain relief that we have hoped for. He had tried other treatments, including acupuncture and homeopathic remedies, but nothing provided relief for him. Thanks to the researchers and those who participated in the clinical trials.
I don’t know if drug companies ever receive thank you letters. You always see bad things in the news regarding drug companies. I want you to know the impact this drug had on my father’s life. Thank you from one very grateful family.
