Gosh, that sounds awful mkor. I hope you get help soon. Have hope that what you are going though now will likely not last forever! If they were willing to do a PET scan, then your doctors are obviously very concerned, and will find a way to help you.

I am not a doc but Lyrica has kinda had a numbing effect on me, throught my body, some places good and some places bad. There has to be something else out there that the docs can try, use the internet and see what you can come up with. Dont give up hope there has to be some more alternatives out there. Never know what you can find on here these days.
