Pins and needles

My wife's first GBS symptoms presented themselves on February, 2006. After two weeks in the hospital and 5 doses of IVIE we were released on April 1. Anyway, my question is for experienced GBS'ers. What is the progression of the "pins-and-needles" sensation? And does anything help? She has tried Lyrica but it didn't help.

As I know the most used drug against "Pins and Needles" is Neurontin. Perhaps your wife will tolerate this, but she should consult her doctor. Iβve been on 500 to 600 mg four times a day for four years now with no side effects whatsoever. All I know without this medication my pain would have been literally unbearable.
