I'm slowly eradicating many symptoms, but one that I just can't seem to shake is intolerance to heat, and especially sun. If I spend any time outdoors or try small amounts of exercise and sweat, I feel flulike, with a flare in other symptoms, as well. I also get weird patchy "goosebumps", mostly on my legs..not a rash, not red, just raised bumps. I do not tolerate baths or heating pads well either. I used to be intolerant to the cold, but that has lessened over time. I'm currently being treated Bart and Babesia. Wondering if Lyrica might help. I haven't been outdoors for a few years in warm weather..good for tick control, bad for my mood! Thanks in advance for any thoughts/advice.

Hi, Lyrica is basically neurontin. If you can tolerate Neurontin which I take high doses of. Yet, tried 6 times before side effects left. Had to break the 100 to 50. Now on 1800 daily. Has helped about 5 of symptoms including massive Cluster headaches & migraines. Other Lyme side effects also. So if you cane tolerate Neurontin, you prob. can do Lyrica, all it had is diff. fillers, to make more money, Than normal Gabapentin which I am really taking. Just another way for big Pharma to make more $$$. You can even buy Gaba health food store,lot less if you do not have Ins. Huggggsss, to all IN Need...Kerry
