My husband has postpolio syndrome and I am searching 24/7 to reduce his pain or might help him slowing down side effects. Are there people having experience with burning sensations?

I have neuropathy in my feet which gives me burning sensations. I get Lyrica for it. 100 mg daily works for me.

I tried the generic, Gabapenten, but it did not help. Good luck with the pain!

My brother-in-law suffers from this. I have no suggestions for you but I just want you to know that there are other people out there that suffer from it and he has a lot of company. It is a horrible disease that we once thought was stopped and gone and now it is back and with a vengeance at a time in our lives that we don't have the strength to fight it. Please give your husband my best and I will be praying for him.
