Hi ladyjay56

I have the same probelm ive had rituximab treatment and ive been taking lyrica for 6 mths( which ive tried to reducewithout success ). Ive put on 'middle weight' i try to eat sensibly but exercise is a probelm due to pain in hip and feet. I hate it and feel very down about it. My husband is very good and supportive he understands the effects of the meds. Im afraid i have no suggestions as how to help but i do know how you feel 😀😀

Side effect of lyrica u will have to decrease slowly if u want to come off it as its highly addictive

Hi weathervane

Thanks for your reply we will just have to hope someone else has some suggestions, until then we'll just have to stay positive and remember if it's helping us stay around for longer it's a small price to pay. Keep in touch and let me know if you find anything out and I will you 😘
