Has anyone experienced the purring and what has been your experience with neurontin?
I'm usually on the peripheral neuropathy forum and what you're describing sounds like what is described as vibration over there. I get it sometimes on a very small area of my body, sometimes a large area like my entire trunk. For me it usually only lasts a few seconds. From what I understand, neurontin is used for pain rather than other sensations. I haven't tried it yet, but have found doctors seem eager to prescribe it.
