I go back in on fri the gabapetin is not helping i just hope something is done but I'm sure that won't happen.
Thank you I see my neurologist in April. My balance gets so bad I had my doctor give me a four point cane I feel rediculous with it and don't use it as much as I should, but to almost fall over just standing still when people look at me when that happens I just tell them the floor moved on me LOL I will tell the neurologist again about the pain and suggest the va shunt see what he says. When I was first diagnosed my psychiatrist said "so it really is all in your head" and laughed. (he had a weird sense of humor). Now if I can just figure out why my white cell has stayed elevated since the shunt was put in that would be great. It has been elevated for so long now that I don't even run a temp anymore.
