Hi everyone. I have ongoing abdominal pain and despite extensive tests the underlying cause has not been diagnosed. I have long-standing IBS but for 20 years I managed to live a relatively normal life (as in I was able to work, go abroad etc). However, the symptoms suddenly worsened about 18 months ago and I am now in a lot of pain, far more than before. I have been prescribed pregabilin, which I am nervous about taking for a number of reasons, not least being potential side effects. So I wanted to find out if anyone on here had been prescribed it, and if so, whether it worked, and what side effects it caused.

Thanks!
