I tried neurontin, gabapentin and have a new lyrica bottle on the bathroom sink. I hated the first two because of the side effects and Steven, you are quickly discouraging me from cracking open the lyrica.
Whining is free and you certainly earned the right. Sucking it up is optional but be forewarned sucking it up too long will cause the whining to be more intense when it does come out!

I hope your issues resolve soon!
