When I was getting my master's degree, I had a paper that was turned in at 11:57 PM, so every other paper was done in several rough drafts, taken to the Writing Center, and even taken to the professors when I needed a dollar to go buy a clue.

Hi, I have been on Lyrica for about 6 months and have put on about 12 kgs. The problem is it is mostly around my middle section and added to the chronic pain it is getting me down.
