Article: Diane - Could it be -- A Lyrica Side Effect?

Diane - The Pink House ITC

If you've been following this blog, you know all about Bob's neck and head-drop problems which began sometime around May of this year, and how flummoxed I've been. When he first developed this problem, I took him immediately to his neurologist, who told me that the cause of the head drop was neuropathy. And pretty much, there was nothing we could do about it.

Then, the at-home physical therapist told me that the head drop/neck problem was caused by positioning, the culprit being the fact that I was told to keep Bob's hospital bed elevated at 45 degree angle at night for his feeding pump. You all know, how guilty that made me feel.

See how he tips his head? It does look like "torticollis".

Then comes the occupational therapist, who told me that she thought the neck/head problem was caused by a "brachial plexus injury"... since then, we've been doing neck stretching exercises pretty much every single day, seeing only a little improvement.

All righty ...
