I see a pain management doctor for the pain in my hands caused by diabetic
neuropathy. He's had me on Neurontin for three or four months. Today he
told me there is a new medication made for neuropathy and he wrote a
prescription for it. Lyrica is the name. It is going to take 10 - 14 days
to get it as I get most prescriptions by mail. Will let everyone know how
it works after I've taken it for awhile.

Lyrica is new on the market, in tests it shows some promise for relief of
diabetic neuropathy. See: http://lyrica.notlong.com

Pfizer Statement on Regulatory Status of Lyrica

NEW YORK, September 02, 2004 -- In response to media inquiries, Pfizer
said it has received approvable letters from the US Food & Drug
Administration for three indications for Lyrica (pregabalin):
neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy,
postherpetic neuralgia, and as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of
partial seizures in adults. Pfizer received a non-approvable letter
for Lyrica for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder.

Pfizer said it is continuing to work closely with the FDA during the
ongoing regulatory review to resolve open issues on all indications
and labeling.

In the European Union, Lyrica received marketing approval in July 2004
for the management of peripheral neuropathic pain and as an adjunctive
therapy in the treatment of partial seizures.
