I started coming off Pregabalin at the beginning of September last year. It has been a very long four months! With each reduction, I go through a week of hell! My head is all over the place! My mind will not stop, it hurts, and even my Tinnitus […]

…and assume everyone has got it! This is not a game, this is about the life of every person, old, or young! What we do will make a difference!
I’m finding that speaking is becoming a bit of a problem, but I think this mainly due to not talking that much, or that’s what I’m hoping. I am also a bit deaf, which doesn’t help. I’ve noticed this as I’ve tried to record some of my post […]
