Interestingly to me, I cycled off of the Lyrica I was taking during RAA West as a test, to see just how much it helped me get through the ride.



Huge change! The back is all pissed off again lol. So on it I can tolerate

riding a sportbike day after day, off it, I can barely tolerate being vertical.

Guess WHOS going back on it Asap.



Shocking how much benefit I get from a non narcotic drug that’s allegedly not

intended for pain management.
