3 years ago I started having terrible leg cramps, from my hips to my calves. This was happening day and night. I have been treated for neuropathy and after 2 EMGs they say the neuropathy is mild. Over the last 3 years the dosage of Gabapentin has gone from 200mg 3 times a day to 1200mg 3 times a day. Still the cramps continue to the point that if I walk maybe a few hundred feet my legs start to cramp up. So 3 months ago my Neurologist ordered more blood work and supposedly he sees positive for Lyme. I then went on 30 day antibiotics, than more blood work that now shows negative. The leg cramps continue. You’re right about the insurance. I have no real diagnosis. I’m in trouble at work because my job requires me to do a lot of walking and I’m at the point that I can’t. Disability is not an option, because no one can say what the cause is. Depressed in Ohio. Just looking for that one other person with the same problems.
