Neurologist said to bring him a list of any meds that others have had success with. He said that some times we have to go through several different ones to find one that works for us. Was impressed by that. The recent increase of Neurontin is helping for now but has been increased to 1800mg a day. I have increased it 3 times in 3 months. He also made copies of both articles I have found recently. Gave me his cell number and said if I needed him to call him. Wow supper guy. The pain management doctor also very nice said that it will eventually burn itself out. I have read otherwise somewhere, maybe by one of y'all. He said since I am doing good most days, he is not changing or adding any meds. He did tell me there is a time released Neurontin that you only take once a day at supper. You can also add a regular Neurontin on the days when the symptoms are worse. They both said it was odd to have symptoms on the uninjured arm as well as my face!!! The pain specialist said he could prescribe a combined cream of Neurontin and other things that a local pharmacy makes for the burning pain but it works better on the arms and legs. He said they would mail it to me since I live a hour from it. You have to have a script for it. He gave me samples to try. Any input is very welcomed. Any meds that work for you would be a great help so I can pass it on to my neurologist. Thank you all
