Oh also, side note -- I just started Gabapentin. I'm taking 300mg a night for the first 3 days, then ramping up to eventually 800mg 3x a day. I'm *really* hopeful this just gets the pain under control.

I'm young (28), single and in good health otherwise -- but this is really interfering with my life (I've stopped dating, and struggle to make it through every day).

I just need something to make it manageable. I want to make it through this!
