Anyone else have Numullar Dermatitis [View all]

Just my luck to get this rare condition. I am itching all the time. He has prescribed Lyrica, which forbids any alcohol (and I am a wine lover). I have blisters and discoloration on my arms, legs and back. I am using every known commercial product in the shower and then after I dry off. They are marginally effective.
Triamcinalon ointment is not doing the job.

So my dilemma is this: one month of Lyrica costs $203, which I can't afford. I will ask my doctor for an alternate drug that is not as expensive and is wine friendly. If that is not possible I will ask if it is possible to alternate days where I do not take the Lyrica. I will also ask him when I will get better on whatever drug I am taking...
